I'm interested to hear what alternative one piece bars folks are using on their builds. I'll be looking for 120 to 130mm options, currently favouring the bigrock skyline.

I'd like to spend less but don't want to live in fear of cheapest ones breaking (around 82kg, 193cm).

Do the real SL8 components work on the R088?

I got myself an original Rapid Cockpit and will see how to get it to fit. But might take some time until my frame arrives.

Are you going to use the R088 spacers or did you get SL8 spacers to match the Rapid?

Not sure yet really. Could the original spacers from Spcycle for their cockpit fit?

Anyone has a link for a good Roval Rapide Cockpit clone ?
Some people here suggested the one from Elita one. But I have no personal experience with it. With 320g it seems also not the lightest.

Has anyone here built a bike using the SpCycle R088 frame with a mechanical groupset, like an LTWOO 2x11?

I used the balugoe one piece for my r088. I just bought a second one for my r065 build. I can't event see why would someone not like that handlebar. 100% impressed with quality for price. I paid around 70 usd on ali

I have a Lexon Vero to go with it.  The bar itself is very nice.  The split ring that came with it is too shallow, though. And the one that comes with the frame is too thick.  So I am now waiting on some spacers that should take care of it.  I could machine down the thick one, but I'm waiting on other parts anyway.

Once I do get it in there properly I'm sure it will do nicely.

I have the lexon in my cart as an option.

What do you mean by split ring?

Thanks

The C shaped ring that sits on top of the top bearing.  You want the base of the spacers to sit close to but not touch the frame.  Right now I think one spacer is about .050" too thin and the other .050" too thick.  I have two of the below on order - those should work.  Or I can still machine down the one that's too thick.

I am surprised that you find it flexy. When did you buy it? This is the stiffest carbon bar, I have ever had. Maybe they changed the recipe 😁

Is there anything particularly wrong with buying the Spcycle full bar? Or is it just the lack of width/length combinations?
