The difference is in your imagination. It might not be for bars, but it is for forks. They make fork
all difference

joe-<< I have a steel frame (Schwinn Peloton) with carbon fork and carbon seatpost. When I first
tried carbon it was on a Cannondale aluminum frame and I noticed a dramatic difference when adding a
carbon fork and seatpost.
(i..,e smoother ride, bumps more dampened).

I'll buy the ride difference for the fork but the seatpost material won't make any difference, samo
for a carbon handlebar...

I just took off a Kestrel carbon bar(too long of a reach) and put my Cinelli
64/42 back on-no difference, on a steel frameset...

But ya wanna buy the carbon bar? $100+ shipping

My kitchen scale says they make nearly 250 g difference over a steel fork. That's like 1500 calories
that are free for me to eat!
