Re: New frame: Longteng RD301-D I bought one black matte and one black gloss. I recommend the black gloss. Didn't entertain custom painting.
I bought airwolf bars via AliExpress because wanted 36cm width. Very happy with the bars. They're the T1000 or T1100 (allegedly) cockpit. Costs 75 EUR plus shipping so you will find it on AliExpress at around 100-120 EUR. From the airwolf store. Very stiff, look very nice. They also sell a carbon Garmin mount but these are standard sizing.

I designed and got car vinyl decals cut locally. To me the frame looks a lot like a Factor, so I hacked their font and in trolling Factor with tractor and facteur on either side. I've washed the bike many times now, those decals aren't going anywhere but they're reversible. Very happy with the format. It's fancy vinyl, forgot the name, any car nerd will know. It's outdoors resistant. Cost me a whopping ten euro to do the whole bike.

Re: New frame: Longteng RD301-D Purely aesthetic reasons yes, the gloss on that frame works really well, and they did a very nice gloss (it's a tad heavier btw, as is always the case afaik). You can kind of see the carbon underneath depending on the light, too.

Re: New frame: Longteng RD301-D Well logically, assuming the 100mm measurement is consistent (there's the question of whether 100mm in cockpit stem length is the same as 100mm in standalone stem length), assuming the stem angle is consistent (not all cockpits have the same stem angle, and your Scott stem has a stem angle), assuming both bars are about the same geometry (not all bars / cockpits have the same reach, drops...), then if you pick a 100mm cockpit, your position should mirror the new frame (stack & reach) geometry, so you should be lower (15mm) and closer (11mm) - btw 110mm is 11cm, i assume you mean 11 & 15, not 110 & 150. The stack is easy to adjust with spacers. The top tube of the 301 being shorter, in principle, you should get a 110mm cockpit.
