To the OP: How do you like the T2-Cobras? I was looking to get a set but don't know if the $100 prem over the Aluminum T2-Wings is worth it.
IMHO, a tall HS spacer (like the one below) and a zero deg rise stem would make the bike look a little better.
i'm thinking zero degree as well. i'ma ride it a bit first tho. i snatched this one off the kona, so it wasn't matched up with the headtube angle or anything first. worst comes to worst i'll just sell the Thomson and get the exact same one in zero degree and eat the $15 loss on it being used or whatever.
and as far as the Cobra bullhorns... they basically have the same shape as the alum T2 ones which coincidentally the guy i sold my Ultegra crank and carbon wheels too just got for his Litespeed build. honestly... these feel like they are 1/3rd the weight of the alum ones. its very noticeable in your hand. his cost him like $60 at a LBS cause he didnt wanna wait. i got mine new for $100. So if you can find a deal, i think the carbon ones are worth it.
