couldnt get a plain black stem - so this one would have to do!

 

And OH MAN - Funn have uped their game in a BIG way!!!

That stem is machined perfection!

And only weighs 130g

 

Nige, if the red is too much or it hurts your eyes, Photofabricators in Williams Road (one down from Sydney) can anodize it black for you at a marginal cost. They did my bars and stem cap on the Teocali. They close to Matt if you don't feel like driving.... :whistling: If he says no, I can drop it off.

where'd you get the direct mount stem and bar from?? want similar :)

 

Funn have a new distributor in SA - they have some pretty cool stuff - but some stuff you may need to back order

Go and have a chat to your LBS - the distributors are LARC Distributors

Duane - the bar is the std ENVE Carbon bar that is distributed by Paragon

http://www.paragontech.co.za/

 

Again have a chat to your LBS - but remember the ENVE Bars are P0000S expensive with a retail of R2300

Not personally - I think the Stryge is new (most of their lineup is new it seems like)

 

But the Vipers have been around for ever and they are like bombproof AFAIK ... (but then again i ride clipped in so what would i know - hahaha)

I must just give a BIG shout out to Jason at Leighs Cycle Centre in the Pavillion for hooking me up with most of the stuff.

 

He organised a great deal on my Wheels, Bar, Stem, Seat and Saint Parts!

 

Thanks bud - I owe you big time.
