I've been very happy with the FSA OS-115 alum. stem and carbon K-Force bar combo on my IF. I'm a big guy, sprinter type and they've given me no reason to doubt my confidence in them. I've got them wrapped with Cinelli gel cork bar wrap for even more comfort. Carbon really does take the buzzyness out. On my IF switching to the carbon front end (new alphaQ fork too) cut about a 1lb off and now the bike turns in even better.
