Any generalizations on the quality of Forte stuff, the pro carbon seat post to be specific, it just seems too inexpensive, or are people just snobs?

My friend has a forte bike with full ultegra, he likes it a lot. It only cost him about a grand or so.

My other bike mechanic friend says that it's really good for what you pay.

I was wondering because I was looking at Forte ergo pro bars that weigh 245 g and cost (right now on sale) 29.99 they seemed a bit noodly at Performance, as I was trying to bend them, I wish I had some other bars to twist and compare. 29.99 seems like a hell of a price for 245g bars.

I have a set of Ergo Pro bars and my commuter and Deda 215 bars on my road bike. They compare favorably. They do _seem_ stiffer than the 215s but it could be a psyche out since I know the Forte's are 245gr and the Deda is 215gr.
