Seeing that seatpost and that Bianchi a while back has piqued my interest in white carbon...

And handle bars out there? Flat or riser?

TIA

If you wouldnt mind a road bar (pics wont upload now!). Man, why do you need white carbon when it can had in titanium? So far as I know only ITM makes parts in white carbon (besides ax lightness who dont make handlebars). Probably out of luck.

The white carbon is actually a cosmetic layer of fiberglass.
This was discussed extensively in RBR search there - anyway several manufacturers have admitted to the fact

I can get white carbon road parts and they're not from ITM and AX Lightness so its not that hard to do it. Adding a color tint to carbon parts isn't hard. Tioga was doing it 15 years ago with handlebars.

Tioga Carbon Mountaineer Bars, fiberglass/kevlar/carbon mesh construction, 180 grams, 560mm width, x 6 degree sweep, and still have some natural black ones as well as a couple red and yellow ones I believe.

I think Mtnwing1 got the last of the blue and green ones if I remember which order I sold out of them in.

Just wondering if anyone has seen any manufacturers with any white carbon parts since this thread was made.

Haven't seen any white carbon MTB bars in a while, but...

Token has plenty of white carbon fiber parts--even a full road frame and fork. They sell them on Ebay all the time. Not really my thing though:

I love that stuff.

I was actually asking about mountain stuff, (sorry I wasnt more specific).

White looks more silver to me. Is it actually white or is it meant to be silver (ie the Token ones above)?

Token has some...but they aren't very cool looking

Check them out and other stuff from them...
