Recommendations for integrated handlebar?
ENEP:
Looking to upgrade one of my older road bikes with a integrated handlebar, mostly for the looks and feel. Bike is only used for light training on flats and indoors traning in the winter. Wanted spec: 380 wide, 90 stem and "modern/compact" with short reach to bends.
Been looking at below items - any recommendations/warnings on theese or others?
TOSEEK TR5500

KOCEVLO

"Alanera" (DEDA copy?) (also available from Ullicyc)

The One Pro (pricey in comparison)

I think the Kocevlo and the last one are the same.
It is also the handlebar I am expecting to be included with my Hygge Model S frame that I hope to receive next week... So hopefully the quality will be OK :)

I had a second look and I agree, the handlebars and accessories look identical. However the Kocevlo one does not specify if T1000 as Ullicyc.
Are they a good option? Reviews seem fine.
TidyDinosaur:
Would not surprise me if they just use the word T1000 to get more sales...
I have no experience yet with it, so I can't comment. But if the reviews are good (you have to specifically search for bad ones to see if there could be a problem with it) you could take the leap. Maybe search for some youtube reviews to learn a little bit more...

I have that kocevelo bar/stem, in 380x80mm. Have about 500km on it so far on my velobuild 099. The inner steerer surface was painted and wouldn't fit on the velobuild steerer tube. So I had to dremel/sand down the inside a tiny bit so it would fit nicely. Not sure if they're all like that or it was just a bad combination of generous tolerances from vb and kocevelo. It came with a variety of plastic spacers and headset pieces. Was a little tricky for cable routing but every one of these combo bars is. Doesn't seem flexy but I'm not putting down insane watts and only weight 130lbs.
For 100$ I'm super happy with it. Here's a couple pictures:
