My bar is already raised to max
on the past years i focused a lot on the bike weight , now i'm revisiting my confort (since the real weight is tooo far away from the paper calculation).
I ordered a new saddle (SMP stratos clone , sadly a clone becouse the cost of the original product is way too high) and the new handlebar.

I'll post an image of myself on the bike , an opinion is always appreciated.
