New Cockpit - Recommendations
As the title suggests I'm in the market for a new cockpit as mine is looking worn and old. I currently have a Ritchey WCS seatpost, stem and handlebar all in aluminium. Im looking for something that isnt heavily branded and ideally alloy. So far i have the following on my list
1. Fizik - great looking kit although I've read soem bad reviews about the seatpost clamp. Has some nice extras availabel including seatpost collar and stem Garmin mount.
2. Zipp Service Course SL - I'm looking at the beyond black colourway as its nice and understated unlike the black/white version.
3. Thomson - Masterpiece seatpost and X2 stem however they only do a carbon bar so would have to match these up with an alloy bar.
Has anyone used the above or alternatively could you recommend any other brands?
Thanks

Deda are reasonably priced and classy. Depends how much OCD you have in terms of which bits to match.
I needed a new 90mm stem so just go this (the all black one)

If you wanted an alloy to match that then the Zero 100 is great. I have my eye on the matching carbon bars.
And in terms of a seatpost will, in due course, be adding this:
