Oh and this was just handed to me.

The bar fly mount from Tatelabs. I don't have a huge amount of space on my bars (salsa bend2) because of the sweep back and with the wildcat harness on it limits places for me to put lights. It will also raise the height of the lights above the bar bag.

I've just received something similar:

A bit anxious about the 2 n/m limit on the fasteners and their ability to hold onto my Six-Pack when bouncing done a rocky descent! Other than that I like "tank turret" look and it clears the bag/cables so no more annoying shadows.

i have the smart mount it hold a hope R4 head unit, blinky light and phone holder and seems fairly solid to me. it's been exposed to a fair bit of bouncing in the ~6weeks I've been using it.

The KCNC is 40gms & 20 quid. Main reason for choosing it was working out how to accommodate bar bag, lights and food pouches. The other being my mate had this one fitted for our ride the other day.

The Bar Fly was £17 and gives you an extra 50mm of room. Just weighed it and it was 42g.

Got an X-Bionic baselayer from Sports Pursuit. Half price, which brings it down to the still expensive, but much more "affordable" £60. Quite comfy, will be wearing it for the BB200.

Anyone who hasn't joined Sports Pursuit, can get an account sorted here: clickity click

Yeah from Intelligent Design Cycles (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idc1947?_trks ... 7675.l2559) based in Taiwan. I pre-orderd about 6-7 weeks ago and waited it out. I had previously checked with SP that they were a reputable reseller and they assured me they were so I went for it. :)

14 days. No issues with customs / Royal Mail battery checks. The parcel tracking doesn't work
