Alston Ultralight Toray T700 Carbon Fiber Road Bike Bicycle Handlebar Drop bar 31.8 400/420/440 Mm Ud Matt Black

Recently converted from threaded to threadless with carbon bar and fork, alloy stem and headset, resulting in 2 lbs in advantage and a better ride. Also the bar to be replaced the was too narrow.Chose this handle bar because it shapes nicely in the picture, available size, very light, and in my price range with free of shipping. Other than finding out what T700 is there is none so ever information about this bar any where.In case you are as curious as I am about this T700, here you go: " the carbon used in T1000 is stronger, hence a lesser amount of carbon needs to be applied to achieve identical stiffness to the T700. Therefore, the only differences between the T700 and T1000 is the tensile strength and weight, with T1000 being lighter because of lower carbon content." Hope this means something to you. There is no telling who follows the stander or which bar is made with this stander in mind.As it shows up, it looks like a miniature handlebar comparing with all I've seen around. I would imagine it should be looking a little more robust like in the picture. It seems questionable on its safety hence it is the first carbon bar I purchased. It is a plain black bar with center markings and none slippery area for the stem and brake levers mounting. The reach is 20 mm shorter then the one it replaces which may meant a longer stem. This is not a complain because any shape is their style of design as long as they provide you with 420 mm and 31.8 mm what you'r asking for. If you don't like it you can click on the next one or return it.After installing it the way best I believe it could be, it looks very nice on my bike. My initial impressing on the ride is very positive not knowing how is it comparing with other carbon bars but I am very confident and sure footed. It is light and don't feel it is going to break as of majority of the time riding low with lot of weight on the drops.Here is something you need to know: The bar is installed with the wing shape being level to the ground as shown in pix and I am not a big person with hands that fit in medium size gloves; I really like the end of the drop 2/3" longer so my pinkies wouldn't have to be hanging and my hands can have a little movement. Therefore, you six footers with big hands should really pay attention to this. But again, this is all personal likings.As my conclusion, this is one hack of a handlebar for $61.99 if you are comfortable with. Check on the measurements in the attached picture to see if it will fit you. Happy biking!!

I've now owned 3 of these in different widths for different bikes. I've had zero issues with any of them. I haven't weighed them to see how light they are, but they feel pretty light. They're no S-Works, but it's hard to do better at this price point. They feel good in the drops, I like the flatter tops, and they feel quite stiff in use. I would have no problems buying another or recommending them.

These bars are part of a new bike build that is not finished. The bars are light and are a better fit to my hands than others I have tried. Dropped one star because of the outside and inside diameters are off. I had to take the clamps off of the levers to get them on the bars. It was a trick getting the nut bolt combo to start. The inside diameter at the bar ends was too small for standard bar tape ends even without tape. This is not a big problem for me as I tend to link wine cork ends. I whittle them to fit leaving a bit extending. I then cut the bar tape at an angle and wrap from there.

Amazing bar. It truly does soak up all the bumps. The ride feels "creamy" compared to my steel bar and weighs less than a gnats pubes. Also riding with no bar tape (weight weenie) and it feels super grippy. A truly well designed piece.Only flaw is the centering marks are not centered (LOL!). Easily hidden with some e-tape. If it broke, I would buy another one.

I arrived in a good package, looked smaller than I thought , but when I placed in my bike began to shine. Nice fit, low weight and works for what was made.2000km on it and flawless.

Good fit

This is a very nice bar. It appears to be good quality, with no obvious concerns. This carbon bar is much more compliant than my old alloy one. It's good for eliminating some road vibration but only time will tell how durable it is. Yes it is very light.
