He told me that by using my incumbent Profile Design bar and ENVE seatpost, the cost would be $200 per joint, and $200 to paint, and thus $600.
My wife asked me about the Bar Stem and quickly dropped the subject when I said it would be WAY more than she expected because we'd have to do it to a new stem and bar because we are still using the adjustable stem we had before and an aluminum bar. Sure is pretty though.
