Thanks Brother.
The bars are indeed 3t Xida Teams and Jersey is right, they are silly.
The rims are stripped and re-anodised IRD Cadence Aeros, it would be alot cheaper to use Deep Vs or the like but that's no fun.
Yep, the couplers are pretty light. Much of the added weight was offset by getting the frame TIG'd instead of brazed.
cheers for the info.
I've got some pretty damn rough roads around here (far too much for 19mm tubs/20c clinchers) so I'm seriously considering going to a carbon bar & post, as I love riding, but i hate busted wrists. Trying to figure just how much difference it will make? I know on my mtb a few years back I got hold of a set of easton bits and that made a massive difference on days with lots of tarmac in them.
also after a pair of semi-aero rims, don't want massively deep V's just a little hint of something to take the eye away from teh fact I'll be running 700c on a bike designed for 27" :s
