I just ordered an SPCycle R088 during the AliExpress sale, and I'm now eagerly waiting for it to arrive! Really excited!

By the way, I heard that the included integrated handlebar has recently been updated.

I believe the previous model was the HB-05, but apparently it has been discontinued.

The new handlebar is no longer flat and has a raised design, which seems to result in a higher hand position.

Is anyone using this new handlebar? I'd love to hear your thoughts on its fit, comfort, and overall feel!

The R088 is available on Aliexpress also with a riser bar. In my opinion it looks better than the RF10/R099 because of the more elegant head tube. Also there is so much more user experience with the R088.

Better tires will gain you more watts than a few aero touchups. Plus I prefer the R088 threaded BSA BB. Less fuss and it just works without the use of specialized tools.

Very interesting!

So after a lot of reading and consideration I will also order today. With all the coupons this is now at 538€ including the handle bar which is very good bargain I think.

The problem is only I cannot find where to specify the size of the handle bar. How have you done this?
