Another post in the "i'm building a bike and need your help" series.
I'm looking for:
STIFFNESS
Big Drop and Long Reach, nothing compact
I like ergo shapes. I know this isn't cool with the elite crowd.
I like flat tops, but it's more important that I can fit aerobars on for the occasional TT
I don't have unlimited funds, so most likely aluminum, but I'm not anti-carbon
All others being equal, lightness will factor in.
Please give me suggestions, but PLEASE post reach & drop numbers.
My current bike has ITM Lite Luxe Wing shape handlebars. I like them a lot and would just buy another pair if I could find aerobars that fit.
Thanks,
B.
