IF you need to ask you probably don't. It's a bridge for aerobars to turn them into aerobars like the profile centuries, with the curved top.

Quite comfy for long rides.

These are the same bars you're going to pay $55 BIN on ebay. And around $50 elsewhere on the net.

AWESOME! These are my favorite bars. I've already got a pair on both of my FGs but I went ahead and ordered an extra pair because $15 is a steal.

I love Chucks bikes, but as i remember, there is a faily large shipping charge (12 or so) for even small orders, so load up on stuff.

Also, people who are looking for 1" threaded or threadless forks - there are Martec versions of both in carbon for $35, and the threadless ones have a nice looking crown.

LOL @ Massi fork Chinese knockoff of another Chinese brand. Honestly, Chucks Bikes feels like the Harbor Freight of the bicycle world...

I was gonna say that exact same thing. These bars are for wispy little babies that don't have hills to climb.

They were up to 47cm a couple hours ago. Probably sold out.

Or they are pandering to form over function hipsters?

I kid, I kid.

But seriously, people should measure their shoulders and get a bar according to that dimension. 38 cm should be used by girls and 130lb lanky dudes.

Yeah I had problems with the 38s until I fixed my position. Still took a few weeks to get used to. Sam

Hm, I don't mind skinnier bullhorns, but then again I live in a really flat area. Nice for when traffic jams and I'm dodging rear view mirrors, as faux-messenger as that sounds. Real life is more important to me than stigmas.

I purchased both the black and silver at different times when they previously had them in stock. They were both the 0 drop models which I liked because it gave me a position like the flats of a road bar.
I finally put the bars on my IRO group buy and like them quite a bit, especially considering the money I saved over retail or ebay!
