Hi Everyone,

I recently signed up for Ironman 70.3 in Poreč which will be on 18th of October.

Now I'm lookinng to upgrade my cockpit on rep Factor Ostro Vam 2.0.

I was looking at Winowcycle HB052 (400$) and HB053 (620$) as they are one of the only ones I can actually find that aren't priced over 1000$.

Does anyone use Winowcycle handlebars or does maybe have a good alternative?

Is the HB053 worth 220 $ more over the HB052, as I can't spot any big differences?

How is the compatibily with Shimano DI2?

Velobuild's TT cockpit is 140 usd only. No idea about quality though, you'd have to check the thread om their TT bike.

I'm really liking the looks of the new cockpit from BXT.
