Anyone tried the ITM Uniko bar and stem combination. They look good but there doesn't seem to be much information on their performance. Don't want to fork out without data (anecedotal or otherwise).

I'm interested in the concept as well. It appears to be a very well thought out design and is probably the best full carbon stem out there. From one mag review I have, the stem is stiff while the bar was a little flexy. The stem is not light, 120 weighed 210 grams but it is a very very clean design. No exposed bolts up front or behind. You can use a different 25.8-26.0 round bar though.

Of greater interest to me is the new K-sword. Same concept but oversized aero/ano bar. Big bucks/euros but sure looks sweeet.

I have seen a couple here in the club...the guys like them so far. Only negative is that they may get a little slippy in the wet, but it doesnt rain much here so they should be OK.
Very pricey though.

So the boys there like to save 40 grams by not installing handle bar tape:)

I'd do the same.
