Did anyone tried those MCELO handlebars? I am looking for something with -17 degree stem to lower my stack on a Gravel bike. The seller told me that this one is -16. But you know don't know if can be trusted. On the auction of the mcelo frame on the bike pictures it does not look that steep but on drawings it says - 16. Funny that they don't inlcude those drawings with angle on handlebar auction.

Would be cool if someone here used it and can tell something about them.
Using not quite accurate method of "hold a stem up to the screen", the top slope of the stem does seem to be close to a -17, but the 100mm bars pictures end up placed nearly identically to where they be FSA ACR -6 90mm stem would place them. The Kalloy Uno -7 100 actually seems lower and longer with this method than the MCELO bars.
MCELO aren't the only ones not being accurate with this though. Specialized with the SL7 stems are lower than you would think due to not accounting for a 7-8mm drop and their 31mm stack height. the -12 is is functionally equivalent to the classic designed -17 stem. Its slightly lower for the 110mm, 120mm, 130mm sizes inclusive of their adapter. I don't know about the 140mm, but i think the -17 would be slightly lower at that length.
