I'm curious what y'all think about aero bars, and why they're not more widely used, since most of the advantages of an aero frame can be had by simply using aero bars...

Thoughts?

PS - I get that the most important thing about aero is body position on the bike, and I'm working on that...
I got a pair of Giant's aero roadbars for a steal. My first comment to anyone that asks about them is how comfortable riding on the tops is compared to round bars.
