Hypothetical about stem, bar, seat post.
 

If price was not an issue what Bar, Stem, seat post combo. Pics appreciated.

Hypothetically, the Fizik model year 2022 carbon seatpost and stem, and the year 2027 model 3T ergonova.

And where, outside a time machine, may I find such lovelies.

Does ENVE have cool seat posts? Their bars and stems are pretty cool.

Otherwise, I like what 3T has to offer - solid options for all three items.

Cervelo AB04 bar

3T ARX stem

Whatever carbon seatpost works; all my bikes forever have needed a proprietary one.

Forced to make everything match, ENVE.

Ritchey WCS Curve bars because they are light for aluminum and have a good drop and reach for me.
Ritchey WCS seatpost because its light for aluminum and has a good attachment system.
Kalloy Uno 7 stem because its light for aluminum and inexpensive. The decals come off in 15sec too, so its just a nice black stem.



Even if price wasnt an issue, this is my setup. It matches the setup i have for the frame i am building.
I dont need to chase grams past what my setup is.

So not money. But is weight an issue or not?

I have a beautiful crumpton cf frame I bought used this year to replace crashed Merlin cf/ti lunaris I bought 2003. Stupidly I chose dade seatpost aluminum and Ritchie alum bars and stem. It bugs me to see allow on this masterpiece so all out for looks feel and comfort in CF.

Post below yours in answer to your queries.

I read the enve seatpost is a loyal Pain in the ass.

I like the shape of Fizik Snake handlebars. I prefer the R3, aluminium version. I would get the R1 stem and seat post for the matchy-matchy factor and because they look good and function well.

I have the ENVE one bolt seatpost on two bikes and the new two bolt one on my Vamoots RSL.
I just reviewed the seatpost videos on the ENVE site. The one bolt version was the easiest to setup. With the two bolt version you just had to ensure that the front wedge was tightened to spec.

I have a full ENVE cockpit on three bikes.

Beautiful stuff, but be sure you are sitting down when you check the price!

That's what top notch stuff costs. Nice stuff is expensive.

I'm sure the Trek fanboy can find something more expensive.

My setup above is 240g bars, 230g seatpost, and 108g stem.
$155 in total new for 578g.

Contrast with $857 total on the zipp for 533g.

1.6oz saved costing $700 more. I get that this is a 'ignore the $' thread and style is paramount in some instances, but dang.
That zipp seatpost is cool looking for sure though.

When someone says, "If price was not an issue", I answer the question that was asked.

Your setup is a very good deal, but the OP did ask about getting a good deal.

Extralite HyperStem - 100 mm/80 grams/$210.

I installed the stealth version onto an ENVE SES Aero road bar today. The equivalent ENVE stem is 50% heavier.

I also found the ENVE two bolt seatpost to be somewhat tedious to set up. The design relies on two tiny o-rings. This is my first time using ENVE components and so far I am not terribly impressed.

All Chinese carbon fiber alibaba ... does the high end stuff really make a difference? Hopefully one day I will know the answer to that

Good for you.
Personally I wouldn't trust lightweight, cheap, no name chinese components where the cost of failure is very high.
More than likely they will hold up, but if they don't!!!

I would be careful what you wish for. A sudden failure would give you an answer to the question, but you might not like the result of the failure.

My cost-is-no-object choice would be to go integrated with custom Berk Composites SRP bar/stem combo, and a Kent Eriksen Ti seatpost.

If separate bits are required, make it a Schmolke EVO TLO bar and Deda Superleggero stem painted to match frame.

I often scoff at the people that say something like, "I hope you have good dental insurance!" in response to Chinese carbon fiber products, but bleeding-edge lightness is not an area where I'd be comfortable placing my trust in inexpensive products from anonymous manufacturers.
