Built up the bike with the Avian Falcon handlebar yesterday.
It's pretty rainy here until end of the week, so will need to wait for next weekend for a proper ride.
Looks amazing though

Looks very nice. I guess the bar tape won't last very long...

I've built up my Seka with a Falcon handlebar. Size is 360x120mm. I've only had a chance to ride it indoors but it has felt reasonably stiff, as stiff or stiffer than any other integrated handlebar I've owned. I have similar qualms to everyone else about the computer mount integration and hardware weights, I'm trying out some different solutions and will report back. Overall pretty happy with the purchase.

I reused the one from the previous bar, cause it's winter anyway and I'll swap it in spring.

Anyway:
Did my first couple of outside rides on it.
I'm pretty happy with my purchase, the bar feels comfortable in all positions.
To me it feels very stiff. Never felt it flex even when out of the saddle.
I'm not in my best shape so the max power was only just above 1000W

What's the difference from ordering from avians.cc or aliexpress? For me, with currrency exchanges, it's a ~100 €/$ difference in price.

I contacted them and they confirmed that the AliE store was theirs. If you need a custom spacer and message them they will probably send you a link to add it to the cart.

Okey.
But it's 100€ more expensive to buy it from aliexpress, at least for me. The price is in my currency, and the avians.cc in US dollars. Same thing, same seller, 30%-ish price difference. Weird.

I got my Avian Canary from AliExpress during a sale for $195 including all taxes.

Don't know what's this

After some rides with the canary I can say with no doubt it's much stiffer than roval alpinist handlebar. Don't know it's because mine is 252gr, but really happy with the handlebar. And the customer service in the aliexpress avian's shop it's top

What is the aliexpress official shop?

Also, anyone has some good insert mount for Bryton? All aliexpress I tested are not a good fit.

Cost of the v1 was £145 to UK delivered.
How did you get them so cheap? Currently £225 on AliExpress!
