Where can I get that Garmin mount and will it fit Pro Stealth Evo bars?

these guys looks like they can 3d print anything

K-Edge, and no. how? its custom made to fit this particular one.

^ exactly. Get your machinist to knock you one up.

what do you mean "how"?
there are 2 screw holes on Pro Stealth Evo underneath, to fit this mount, so if the gap between bolts is the same I could fit one of them garmin mounts.

If the holes are in the centre of the bar then the K-edge would put the Garmin off centre, as it is made to work with the clamp which sits to the side of the stem.

cool, just sent them an email.

I just don't get integrated bar/stems. So pointless, expensive and prescriptive.

Agreed, so pointless.

Nylon designed to hold a 200, 500 or 800 Garmin in the middle of a pair of integrated handlebars. This mount bolts onto the underside of the stem using the two bolts that should already be in place. They have been tested with Pro Stealth and Cinelli Ram bars but may work with others.

Blimmin' 'eck Ed, this looks absolutely tremendous!!!!!

They will do it to any bar and stem combo you want
no, if you want full carbon they will make you stick to enve stem.

sorry, didn't know that! Integrated hole in the stem misguided me. Having said that, not sure if the hole spacing is the same...

Like Calfee, Appleman bicycles also do a custom stem bar combination and I've seen a picture of a Berk composites combination done using Zipp bars and stem

Oh !

My girlfriend's bike in LFGSS's Bike Porn !

Glad you guys like it. :)))

at least the bars look comfy

Yes, screw and glued.

It have to be re-glued regularly to keep it's strength too.

Just glued, actually. Alan´s are the ones thar are also screwed...just a nightmare to repair comparing to Vitus!

this build makes no sense.

^^ Good shot, I forget there's a difference.

Apparently the Vitus is more repairable as their main issue is usually by adhesive failure, the Alan's issue however are the lugs cracking.

Do anyone know a good site I can read up on Alan/Vitus frame?

this build makes no sense.

Why? (genuine question)

I suppose the component look like a weight weenie choice only to be put on a steel frame.

(still don't see anything wrong with that).

No different to the Hinde I'm about to build up. All the benefits of steel, whilst still keeping the weight fairly low whilst using lighter components.

and mine too (except the carbon fork)

^^^There's nothing massively wrong with the component choice, just the marriage of components and frame is pointless. For a start - lightweight/performance-driven modern parts on a noodly, lugged steel frame? The frame will negate most of the performance gains of the components. Descending on wobbly steel with deep section carbon braking surfaced wheels, sounds like a nightmare. I know no-one gives a toss about that here, but...

Then there's the geometry of the frame - massive headtube on a steel frame, with a negative rise stem? Why? Reasonably large fork rake disguised by a straight fork? What looks like semi-compact geometry on a lugged steel frame?
The whole thing looks really slack, but the build says it's going to be ridden aggressively. Yuk.

I am aware (however) that this build pretty much ticks every box for lfgss road bike/show pony:

• rotors, tick.
  
• rat/raw finish steel frame, tick.
  
• chinese crabbon, tick.
  
• weird geometry, tick.
  
• stupid weenie saddle and seatpost, tick.
  
• weenie brakes, tick
  
• suitably postmodern background, tick.
