Im also trying to figure out what kind of tt bars to put on the bike.
Is yours a 2008 model? I bought a 2007 Ordu over Christmas and built it up with the Ultegra SL group and DA bar end shifters. Because I already have the PD T2+ Cobra extension from my road bike, I went with the PD Cobra wing for the base bar. I don't know about the 2008 model but the earlier version will not accommodate compact cranks. There are lots of hills here too so I went with the 12-27 cassette.
