The ultimate cat 5 cycling jerk. They must be frequenting this subreddit. So which one of you is it?

I've bought a 2021 Emonda SLR frame and I'm building it up from scratch. I thought I better double check with real people since the hallucination machine is giving me answers I'm not sure I can trust.

Does the 2021 fork tube only accept the proprietary Trek expander plug (W5257464)? Since a bike usually comes with everything included I haven't been able to find anyone asking this.

The LLM's are telling me that standard round plugs will fit, but I'm not sure about that. I know that the current gen accept round ones but since I'm building with an older model I don't want to take any chances.

I'm looking for handlebars with internal cable routing that enters/exits at the bottom center. I know of one which is the Giant Contact SLR D-fuse MY24 as shown in the photo.

Do you know of any other options alloy or carbon and preferably with a price tag below $200? To be paired with the Trek RCS Pro Blendr stem.

Thank you.

I came across this frame being sold online for the surprisingly cheap price of $850. Seller claims it to be original.

I asked for the WTU number but the seller told me it has none.

Two things, or maybe three, tells me somethings off. 1) The low price. 2) No WTU. 3) the ad has been up for 1 month and nobody has picked it up locally.

Just going by the photos the frame looks absolutely legit. I can't find any differences to the photos found online of the frame. Can any of you spot something?

Should I just walk away? A deal too good to be true is often just that in my opinion..
