Anyone with 3T Ergonovas.. room to mount Crosstops?
I realize the tops are flat but I'm wondering if there is room on either side of area where stem clamps for Crosstops (I use them for riding around with daughter). Also, how do you like the bars compared to Ritchey WCS Curve, Deda Shallow, FSA Omega...? Thanks

You mean a second set of brake levers? If you can get them to clamp (I don't see why you couldn't, but I haven't tried it) there's room.
I haven't tried the other bars, but the 3Ts are nice.

I've never done this myself, but I just took a look at the 3T Ergonova bar and it seems the stem clamp area is big enough to mount a set of crosstops, but they will be pretty close to the middle, but I think it's doable.

I love mine. I need the shorter reach and these are perfect. The drops flare out a bit which is nice. I compared them to the Deda Zero bars and thought the shape of the 3T bars were better for me.
There should be enough room. There is a bit of round bar before they flatten out.
I had my stem and bars painted to match the bike

Gorgeous setup. I've finally narrowed it down to the Ergonova's and Deda Zero 100's ironically.. I'm wanting a shorter reach combined with a normal drop but I realize most if not all short reach bars have short drops as well.
The reason I'm considering the Deda Zero 100's is the supposed deeper drop (128) compared to the Ergonova (123).
I'm leaning 3t in a 44cm though. Thanks!
