Handlebar

I want a handlebar that allows a person to sit in 3 positions: upright, drop and aero.

Is there a short, specific name for such a type of handlebar besides "Flat-Drop-and Aero Bar Combination"?

Thanks

You need to buy a drop bar and add a pair of (clamp-on) aerobars.

Oh well, I guess your suggestion really is the only way.
Thanks

I'm sure that it worked exactly as designed, but it looks like a good way to get a mouthful of stem if you crash while in the drops.

It was an easy way to Demo the R'off hub. stick the grip shifter on a separate straight bar..

Equally doable with a second threadless stem underneath .. saw off the top of a 1" seat post to grip in the stem,

for the 7/8" top part to stuff the grip shifter on.
