In October I have a 19k time trail. Wouldn't mind some aero bars, but don't know anything about them, apart that I won't be using them very often so don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

Don't know if it makes any difference in the purchasing decision, I've got long body, long arms, I've got a super strong back and excellent flexibility.

I can lend you some, and i'm sure there's other people with different models that would lend you theirs. If you're buying, Julio said it, clip ons are best if you don't have a dedicated time trial bike.

I have a pair of Velocity aero bars from the early 90s. How many people here know that Velocity satrted out making aero bars before they ever made a wheel?

They are fluoro yellow and way too big for me.

Want 'em?
