I have 31.8 3T Biomorphe bars on my new rig. Love em. I ordered another Biomorphe 31.8 from Total Cycling where I got the first one ($300). To accomodate the bar, I had to order and replace my 26.0 Moots stem on my Moots. So I order and receive a new 31.8 Moots stem ($325) Will also have to replace the HAC4 computer computer bracket ($75). Total outlay $700.

The new bars have not shipped and Total Cycling does not respond the email. My cc was charged.

Found another dealer who has 26.0 Biomorphe in stock. Do I get the 26.0, return the stem and save on the computer bracket for a total savings of $400? Seems like a no brainer, but issue is- Are the 26.0 Biomorphe's less reliable than the stouter brother? What if I cannot cancel the first order and end up with both. Need bars by mid June.

Just go with the 26.0... Oversized is over rated... Generally, wall thickness is less in the OS bars anyhoo, so durability isn't bumped up much...

Thanks. As it turns out I cannot get the 31.8 bars in the near future. So I ordered the 26.0 version which should arrive Friday.
