Anyone else find the bars lacking stiffness?

Not sure if it's because I'm coming from a very stiff set up, but it gives me a slight concern.
Would be good to know if anyone else has thought the same but has put some decent miles into them without issue.

For ref I am using the larger first spacer and one big spacer. Bars are 100*380

Same config with 110*38.
No problem at all

Yes, they're absolutely terrible. Ive ordered some more expensive ones that hopefully should be a lot stiffer.

irritating having spent so long getting the hoses through.

Maybe a job for those Light Carbon ones that are getting good review...

I've got a set of the Light Carbon bars and they're being tested out on my turbo bike (the seem stiff enough and the shape is comfortable) before being put on my proper road bike. I certainly didn't want to go through the hassle of internal routing to find out I'm not happy with them.

Does anyone in here know where to get a replica Factor Vam decal kit? I'm keen to change my decal colours, but it seems a lot of the rep decal kits have been pulled from aliex etc.

You don't want ali one ?
Note that Factor, Ostro, etc. decals aren't just stickers stuck onto the paint; they're covered with a clear coat that protects the paint. If you don't want to have to sand and repaint everything, you'll have to stick the new decals over the clear coat, with the risk that the decals won't be exactly the same size (and therefore it will look awful 😮‍💨).

Speedydecals Italy has an option for normal decals or slightly larger ones to cover original letters https://speedydecal.com/index.php?id_product=3365&rewrite=factor-ostro-vam-kit-adesivi-telaio&controller=product&locale=en

my frame arrived from Tom and there's no clear coat over the decals. Is this normal?

Yeah mine are over the clearcoat. Just accidentally chipped a piece off trying to check for you 😂.
