bars, stems

[CScriba]

what makes and models you recomend... building up a bike and would like to stay under 1500 for bar and stem togetha. carbon if posible

[Sammajoor]

If your budget is R1500 for both stick to Alu,  it is cheaper and even lighter.

 

If you have R1500 for each then go for carbon.  your bars are going to be more expensive than the stem,  but be prepared to pay

 

[CScriba]

ok thanks, any makes you reccomend?

if you have that budget look at a SCUD bar and stem combo super light and super stiff and you will have change for some other bling items

I agree with Samma.

On the bars the BBB alloy bars are great and then you even have a bit of spare cash to get a Ritchey WCS alloy stem.

 

Great value for money and the weight is a 115 grams for a 100mm length, is the Rav X stem.
