That's awesome news on both fronts! Makes up for the price difference from the ALR4 and is also an added bonus because from the research I've done you don't see a lot of carbon steerers at the price point of $1,600. I could be wrong. I need to get the ALR 5 before they release the 2017 colors. Surely nothing can beat that blue. What a stunner.
