I'm not normally a big fan of flat pedals but that 5dev raw finish pedal really does look lush.

Forth road bridge or the more famous one with trains?

Would you believe me if I said I meant the road one?

Well the road one did snap a few years ago.

Just waiting for my Roost bars to be delivered, Not sure if I can justify the stem though.

Oooh nice! I'd be interested to see if the supposed extra comfort is worth the extra weight over carbon options. The stem is currently sat in an ever increasing pile of bits I'm going to throw on the Rå .410 I mentioned last month, so will report anything interesting back once everything else arrives.

My only experience with Titanium bars was when I acquired a set of kingdom bars.

The geometry was great, construction and finish superb but they were hideously unforgiving.

I have no grudge against Ti bars but I won't be spending that much money based on claimed benefits again.

Beautiful though.

Those pedals are gorgeous, but at almost £200 plus tax they are staying on screen only!

Some questionable colour choices here. The Roost Otho cockpit might give me nightmares and while I really want to like that red & yellow Egerie bike I just can't get there. Nope 🙁

More lovely paint from Egerie since I did the above.

@tomhoward will let you know how I get on with them. Currently running a set of SQlab bars with Revgrips on a Nordest Britango Ti.

@tomhoward bars have arrived, took nigh on two and a half months to arrive though. Looks like they are made in China according to the return address, but seem to be well made. Not fitted yet as waiting on a new stem, will get a weight for them before fitting.

Ouch!

I’m in a similar situation with the 5DEV pedals, though they’ve arrived now.

Very well made, pins were a joy to screw in, much nicer than other ones I’ve done it for, not so much as a tight thread.

Incidentally, total, delivered price was around £190, as the really expensive delivery included all the taxes and duties.
