Has or does anyone ride these handlebars? What are the angles like and how are they overall. All I know is they look hot but thats it. Thanks.

I have them on 2 bikes of mine. They are by far the very best stem / bar combo I've ever had. They are sooooooo comfortable.
Enjoy them if you get them.

Ordered the Talon
Thanks to everyone for the help here! I just ordered these out from my Pinarello shop in Davis, California and the White Talon bars should be here in 9 days.
I'm really thinking of going with the Black Bar Tape, but white looks really great with my Team Prince 08. Anyone have some good recommendations for top quality bar tape? I ran white previsously on my Stella Azzurra Tirreno bars and yeah, it starts looking awful dirty in a short while.
I'm stoked - thanks to all!

Congratulations. Just like the guys above, I believe you got the best integrated bar anywhere for the Prince, with superb ergonomics and looks to match. As far as tape, I prefer Fizik's black.Fuhgetaboudit said:

I Need a Fix of Pinarello
Thanks Genie!
After seeing the Pic's of your Prince with Black Bar tape I think I am leaning toward that direction. My wife remaked how nice that looked also. She really liked the white tape, when it was fresh and new, but now after seeing what it turns into..... she dislikes it, .... a lot.
Do you find any wear and tear on the bars natural clear coat finish with riding after time? Some people had remaked about the Cinelli Ram bars wearing in this area, so I hope that Pinarello took that to heart and put on a more durable wearing top coat.
Thanks for the Pic...... it certainly helps me get by the time!
You crack me up.....!!

The MoST bar is nothing more than a Trigon bar with a $400 paint job.nrspeed said:Do yourself and your wallet a favor Google Trigon

MoST components come straight from Trigon.
Who, by the way, makes top-notch stuff, honestly. I've ordered enough from them to know.

The picture isn't the right MoST bar. This is it below. It's just a generic Trigon bar with a cosmetic 1k weave on top.the genie said:

Exactly. Both of which actually make the bar heavier. But, I do admit those MoST bars look pretty sweet.nrspeed said:

Calling The Genie and friends
Thanks for all of the insights. I have an 08 Prince in the Team color. I originally thought this bar was too heavy and expensive, but it does look awesome (and isn't that part of the reason to buy a Prince?).
3 questions for the Talon owners:
For those saying it is "sooo" comfortable, is that pretty much all around - tops, hoods, drops? I have and like bars with the "wing" style tops, but am a little leery of the bend in these - how is the reach to the brake levers?
The Genie - are you pretty sure on your 130 drop, 75mm reach measurements? Those are exactly the stated measurements on the Easton SLX3 bar I am currently using - I like the shorter reach/drop and want to make sure I don't have to adjust the stem length for the Talon if the reach is longer.
Are the width measurements fairly accurate - I believe they are supposed to be center-to-center - is the width between hoods fairly consistent with the width between the drops?
Thanks!

After many bars and stems, the Talon on my BOB Prince looks and feels great. It is my personal choice. But like I said I have tried many. I happen to like the fancy paint and I am sure some small part of you probably chose something about your bike based on what you like to look at. Buy and ride what like.

I am hopefully getting mine tomorrow from R&A Cycles in New York for $595 
Not too many places to get these online and I had a hard time trying to get Most components through my LBS. I did see a set on eBay recently, but they were not the size I was looking for.
Lot of money and they are not light, but, as others have noted in this thread, hard to beat how they look on a Pinarello, IMHO.

At that price I would have bought Cinelli Ram2.. Then again, I wouldn't buy them at all.cycleboyco said:I am hopefully getting mine tomorrow from R&A Cycles in New York for $595
