@ultreia - sorry to take this a slightly different direction: do you have recommendations for decent stems that allow for integrated cabling? The FSA ACR and Deda stems seem mega heavy. The ARC8 stem I couldn't find data on, nor for sale. I like the idea of having a separate stem and bar for travel, adjustability, and repairs, but little sense of stem options at the moment.

Thanks!

The thing is that ACR8 stem + handlebar is a very good solution. In my case I need a new stem 110, I have the 100 size and it weights 127g with clamps and bolts. I think it is not so heavy but also no light. I would say that changing the bolts, you could get a better weight (using Ti bolts... but I didn´t try). The solution is "perfect" you could use wathever handlebar you want and the stem will work with it.

For total internal you need an ACR handlebar (holes is bigger and you could have hydraulic hoses + other cables, example FSA ACR handlebars), for di2 internal only PRO handlebars with small hole for DI2 cable.

See how it looks with a normal handlebar without holes, pretty clean!

Don´t understand me wrong. My problem is not related with the headset itself but with the spacers + handlebar look. I mean, does it almost match the spacers?

As you can see in the pictures, Token Cable Box spacers are much more similar to my system than the FSA ACR. Basically all three systems ARC8 ICH, FSA ACR and Token Cable Box are the same (cables in front fork tube) but the thing is the spacers. FSA ACR is wider than Token Cable Box spacers, so it won´t look nice. This is the only problem, the looking.

This is the stem I have, so the integrated handlebar must be almost the same sizes like this... almost:



I don´t want to go for Token Cabel Box even more after knowing that they copied the desing from ICH...

If you see the lightcarbon HBR07 looks pretty similar but without real sizes, who knows. I will ask them:

To who you asked? Token?

I talked with ARC8 designers. The thing is the next.

This is how it looks now:


This is a Token stem with spacers and token box system:

This is the F1:


It looks like they almost could fit. The Token Box is an example of a handlebar stem that could fit my system. The problem is that an integrated handlebar could look very ugly if you don´t fit the spacers well.

Also LightCarbon HBR07 could fit: https://www.lightcarbon.com/carbon-road-integrated-aero-handlebar_p21.html

After checking with frame brand, they told me that I could use the Token Cable Box also as reference, it means. ACR will work with the ICH system but it looks weird (ACR stems are larger than spacers I already have at ICH) and Token Cable Box is much more similar to ICH.

HBR07 looks very good and compatible with https://www.bicycle.engineering/products/ich. The cable routing is in front of the fork tube.

The cable routing I would like to achieve is:

fwiw the one doesnt have full internal routing, its design is a little bit of a mystery.

Yes, you are right! I think that I should remove from the list. Really I only trust Farsports F1 at this moment...

Finally I declined to buy this frame. No good information about the frame and factory. Asking people who knows better about the carbon fiber and prices in china, they told me that T800 is three times the price of T700 in china, so they suspect that this frame doesn´t have T800 carbon.

Just a guess on all of this... and I just writing to give you some advice... too hard to get information.

Hello, I am looking for a new integrated handlebar.

I would like to have a good and light integrated handlebar with internal routing. Also if it is not too expensive, it will be the best!

I have some options The One (any of you know a reliable place to buy and the real factory name?) and Farsports F1 (https://www.farsports.com/products/f1-handlebar-98)

Also I found this one at Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001818231469.html . It is not so cheap like the bad copies and it is a copy of Deda Alanera DCR, a really good copy. I love this handlebar but I don´t like the copies... Most of the time they are really bad built.



Do you have any other options? Opinions on this handlebars?

Carbonda FM909 would be similar.  Linkage a bit diff, but similar arrangement.

Yes, but I bit more extreme at the headset... it could be fine...

Hello!

I am looking for a light carbon frame with the posibility of using two bottle cages. Also with a good modern geometry and reactive. I think that one of the best now is the Superior XF 29 Race. Do you know a similar open mould carbon frame?

This is the geometry:

This is how it looks like:

i've ordered the frame 18-03-21 and received it on the 22th of April.
It took about a week to get it through custom clearance.

Anyways i'am very satisfied with this frame.

Do you know the weight of the frame? It is one of my options...

But who is the factory of this frame? Edge seems to be another reseller, not a factory.

Hello, I was looking a good cyclocross frame and I think that FM-279 is a good one. Do you know what is the manufacturer of it? As far as I know HongFu bikes is a reseller.
