Okay, pretty much settled on the 256 sl. I'm 6'3" (189cm) so do I want a flat handlebar or a riser? Given the 256 sl is pretty much the same geometry as the Scott Scale 900 RC I figured that the Ritchey Carbon WCS 2XT shape Flat / 9deg / 700 mm as fitted to the Scott should be a pretty good choice, do any of the Chinese factories produce a bar to the same geometry as the Ritchey? Not looking for a "fake" but rather a direct purchase of similar geometry (if you can see what I mean!)
Meant to add, bike will be used mainly for XC endurance team racing.
Cheers,
Mike
