b-rad Posted August 14, 2011 Share Hi all, Got this awesome frame from Pornstar (Collin) and hoping to build up something nice...to budget of course I am considering:SRAM Force groupset (full)Old saddle or possibly Specialized ToupeExisting American Classic wheels That just leaves the 'Cockpit'. What do you think of an integrated stem/bar, or is seperate stem and bar better? Also what about aero bars?I would be able to spend about R1000 on a bar and would like as light as possible. So far looking at NESS Aero bar, or maybe Ritchey WCS bar... Any other suggestions (on other parts too) Edited August 24, 2011 by b-rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ha Ha Kieran Posted August 14, 2011 Share Ritchey WCS. Awesome bars! Really comfy and light and very well priced Nice bike dude, gonna be hot when its all done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac.A Posted August 14, 2011 Share All sounds good What Am Classics you got?I think an integrated stem/bar of course isn't great for adjustibiblity and is made in the most aerodynamic position.That being said, if you don't like the setup you cant change it.

MTB_Roadie Posted August 14, 2011 Share Ritchey WCS. Awesome bars! Really comfy and light and very well priced Nice bike dude, gonna be hot when its all done Agree'd, I have the white WCS Ritchey bars, unbelievable comfy and I love them! You can actually use the drops 80% of the time as they compact as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b-rad Posted August 14, 2011 Share ok so the Ritchey seem to be a good bet... what stem then? I was thinking KCNC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ha Ha Kieran Posted August 14, 2011 Share No dude! KCNC breaks. Have had 2 and both were faulty. Went with the Ritchey WCS route to match the bars Really a great set up Like the bars, light and strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac.A Posted August 14, 2011 Share doesn't have integrated cabling, which isn't a necessity, but it makes it look a lot nicer.Which American Classic wheels do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted August 15, 2011 Share Excuse my noob tendencies here, but what is that black cable housing like thingymebob sticking up from the frame behind BB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreZA Posted August 15, 2011 Share Excuse my noob tendencies here, but what is that black cable housing like thingymebob sticking up from the frame behind BB? It is to feed the FD cable through. it protects the frame. Protects the little holes from cable rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
