Hi

Just got myself a Bontrager [censored] lite flatbar. It is made of OCLV 120
Carbon.

I think that i maybe not have got what I payed for... I just LOVE
eBay...

What colour should this item have?

Thanks

Presumably this was a used bar? Bontrager doesn't allow Internet/mail-order

Hi Mike

I have checked out Bontragers homepage, but I don't know if it always
have had this colour.

Mine was delivered in an un-opened Bontrager cardboard roll, weight
approx. 140-145 gr. It have all the right graphics, but it is not black
and does not have the usual carbon pattern.

Thanks for your help.

Might it have a "unidirectional" finish, instead of weave?

I have a set of [censored] flat bars, they do not come with a "carbon weave"
finish, or rather they do but it is incredibly fine. My Easton seatpin
looks like carbon, it comes with a very course weave, whereas the
Bontrager bars at first glance don't look like they are woven, they
seem dark grey/black, much closer inspection reveals a tight weavein
places verging on unidirectional in places such as where they go from
the centre diameter to the control mounting portion.

hope that helps a little.

Would say i am fairly certain that [censored] only come in 31.8 if that helps.

Hi Dianne and Martin

Think you are right about the very fine weave. I have never seen this
type of carbon before.
And Martin, it is a 31,8 mm flatbar and it´s colour is gray. ( On the
Bontrager homepage picture, it looks black.)

Thank you, Mike, Dianne and Martin, very much for spending your time
helping me.
