haha, touche.
But you should try my method before making up your mind. These allow a wider arm-span which increases the stability. Much much much more stable than aero bars. There so much more stable, in fact, I feel comfortable in the 'aero' position going down medium grade slopes and hitting potholes, believe it or not!. I really recommend giving them a try. There definitely not aero as professional bars, but their not meant to be
(also, to address the security concerns these are super-torqued on with a handled allen wrench. Don't try installing these without one)

my first fixed gear project....
I have almost completed this converted old 12 speed roadbike. Originally had 26" wheels so had to do a little drilling on the front fork to convert newer brakes onto. Swapped out the old 26" for a pair of 700c Vuelta Wheels from bikeisland.com. Cleaned and rewrapped the bars with black/gray marble tape. Replaced the old seat with a newer Specialized seat. Anyhow planning on tearing it down this week to spray the frame gun metal gray.

What's wrong with that saddle?
It looks a little sad.

Yea the stem is crap, I was just using it to figure out what size to get. As for the saddle I've never ridden a more comfortable one.
