SPcycle were also offering a system like this on here in the cyclocross category. Nicely adjustable, but not very sleek/aero/lightweight from the looks

Good to see more companies presenting options for aero integration into handlebars. This design has merits but needs refinement.

I just started using them a couple of weeks ago and am pretty happy with them. The problem is that BXT didn't design them for internal wiring. It's like they threw in some random holes without thinking about utility and design. You'll have to overlook the zip-ties in the pictures; I'm still ironing out some cockpit issues (headset and stem length) and am not ready to commit to bar tape. And forgive the ugly hotel carpet. Oh, and the wind really whistles through those holes. If I'm not using the aerobars, I wrap them with electrical tape as a quick fix, but I've been thinking about using Di2 hole plugs, though that might not look so pretty. I'll figure that out when I wrap the bars.

What's the long-term review, Norm?

Guys, have you seen a new iteration of G068 frame? Namely G069. It seems to have different fork:

@kubabike where did you find the G069? I don't see it on the SPCycle website

Edit: Found it here - https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807793574789.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.11d72e57E6j3lw&algo_pvid=88790615-62af-43e3-8220-07fda1f5eb02&algo_exp_id=88790615-62af-43e3-8220-07fda1f5eb02-0&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21USD%21768.00%21499.20%21%21%21768.00%21499.20%21%402101c59517308224525082630eafad%2112000043134485945%21sea%21US%210%21ABX&curPageLogUid=9CORcwtbbszc&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A

Compared to the G068, the G069 fork is 15g heavier and has a 52mm offset listed instead of 50mm. The G068 fork appears to have an adjustable offset between 50 and 55mm. The G069 fork appears fixed at 52mm. These are the only differences I see in the geo and spec charts for the two frames.

is the bridge across the rear seat stays of the G058 structural, or just a rim brake mount?  Is this required when running disc brakes?
