I like the bling factor of carbon as much as anybody, but do these bars really solve a problem? I mean, how much fatigue due to vibration does the typical TE/GRR/TiRush rider experience? Not much, I would think. Also, I would be wary of buying from an unknown maker. Not that it matters much for me, since none of my bents take ape-hanger bars. Maybe some TE owners can chime in.
