Anyone had any luck with any of these - ideally around half the price of the official Giant version (around $500) and must fit OD2 (1-1/4") steerer.
Cheers!

Yoeleo H9 bars might work. https://www.yoeleobike.com/products/h9- ... 172c&_ss=r
I have two Yoeleo R12 frames. The slightly newer one has bars that are thinner, narrower and weigh 50 grams less at 350g. I can only assume that this is the latest design.

Their must be a problem with the H10. It has had limited availability for a long time.

The older SLR integrated bars are available on AliExpress for around £200 and are genuine.
I have 2 of them and they are absolutely fantastic.
There are also aero carbon spacer kits on there which match it superbly and I'd definitely recommend if you were going for the bars.

Related to Giant ... I don't suppose anyone knows of a source for this now discontinued adjustable mount?

Yeah, agree with DaveS. Yoeleo H9 might work.
I bought my Yoeleo R11 frame last year and also heard that the last batch was thicker just like Dave said? IDK. Works perfectly for me. It's stiff, smooth, has both internal and semi-internal options, and lots of spacer sizes. They also offer a long-term warranty, I think like 5/6 years?

You'll find some option by seeing the prices. But I will go for H9 of Yoeleo, the price is around USD300 with 6 years warranty.

I got some products of them, including a handlebar for my Cannondale. They provide various of compatible spacers.

Overall, The quality of his fatigue test (https:youtu.be/o2cgqwU5_bc) including the customer services and safety is coming first, so far no trouble on them for around 20 km/day.
