I'm looking to pull the trigger on a Scott addict team replica frame.

Started to view at fancy finishing kit (Bars/stem/post) any recommendations? I've had good experience with Ritchey WCS stuff so possibly WCS bars, but looking at the super logic c260 stem and superlogic (flex logic?) post.

Any thoughts/views?

    Have WCS seat post/stem/bars on one bike - really nice, can't be faulted, looks lush in wet black! Bargain when tracked down in the sales.

    But not as nice as EC90 carbon on the good bike .........

    Yep, it's all pretty normal stuff, the stem holds the bars to the steerer tube quite well, and the seatpost grips the saddle fine and gets held in a frame nicely.

    Wait until you actually buy the frame or not, making sure the frame fits you properly, then make sure the bars are a good shape and size for you.

    Thompson, deda Easton. ...... Different bars have different reach drop earrings. The. C so as above you need to know what shape you want which will depend on the position you want on the bike.

    I have a couple of Ritchey Superlogic bars and fitted one with the C260 stem. I found the c260 stem fussy to fit, the bolts are oddly angled in from the back and low torque (4nm?). If I was speccing again I wouldn't get the 260, there are any number of stems that are stiff enough, light enough etc, but which are just more practical !

    No issues with the C260 stem here. I have one on my weight weenie Foil and my Cento Uno. It's lighter than any carbon stem I've ever owned and beats the Deda Superleggero on my C59 by a few g's (and half its price). Looks nice too.

    As above no problems with C260 stem and WCS Logic II and Evocurve Aero bars.

    You can't fault Ritchey kit, I had WCS carbon on one bike which was swapped for 3T purely for aesthetics.... Big mistake!

    Ordered the Ritchey super logic post as last one from wiggle, loads on full carbon stems about...

    Anyone tried the flex logic versions?

    I've got PRO vibe carbon bars and the vibe stem with the puzzle clamp. Looks great, I don't have the matching seat post though. That's a Specialized CG-R.

    I got a Deda zero100 stem off the classifieds, I never thought a stem would be impressive, it's just a stem right? but it's made a noticeable difference to the bike, I'm now looking for matching bars and seatpost

    I always tend to fit Deda Zero100 alloy components for my steering, as they're stiff and pretty light and the matching Deda carbon seatposts are very nice too. I would only go carbon on my bars if I wanted something aero. As for carbon stems, I don't see the point.

    I stuck enve stem and bars on my colnago - really liked the shape of the bars which suits my none to flexible physique!
