Seatpost, bars and stem all alloy and need to be reasonable value
Would like the bars and stem to match, possibly seatpost too. There's some cracking deals on Planet X such as

Too good to be true? What am I missing?
This looks ok too bit seem a bit heavier
http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/HBF ... -handlebar
Can you fit clip on aero bars to most of these flat top (aero) style bars.
The other option is the Cinelli Vai range but I think I might be getting sucked in by the Italianess of it all, especially the white ones. . . . .

first ones are out of stock/discontinued
I don't think you can clamp tri bars on flat top bars (but i could be wrong)
You need to find some you like the shape of really and also get the right width0 -

My recently finished FM028 has the above bars, only ridden twice but I like them. And I have no issues (so far) with my FSA seatpost and FSA brakes/crank0 -

Ha ha, out of stock, that could be a problem.
40cm width I need. Unsure of reach and drop required. I noticed that ritchey stuff has varying drops based on the width selected which seems to make sense.0 -
Deda is good value from Ribble
Zero 100 stem, RHM02 bars and post for around £65 all in white too if you want!
I may be selling 42cm (205g only!) Deda Newton Bars and 100mm Deda Newton stem as I bought them for a project but don't think it will work out. Just in case they may help with your budget, drop me a pm if interestedKev

What about something from the Ritchey - Competition, Pro or WCS ranges? Good value for money.0
