Which bar ends are those? My Giant Fastroad came with bar ends, but they are heavy. Been thinking about changing them out to carbon.

I was thinking about eliminating the bar ends on my bike, but a couple of weeks ago I went on a 70 mile ride and found it nice to put my hands on them for a change in position so I now may keep them.
Those are specialized. I just installed them to see if I would like them. After riding a bit with them I think they're ok but I would want smaller carbon ones. Also, when I use the bar ends with my current setup it seems like they are really wide. If I decide to do the smaller carbon ones I may also end up cutting down the bars an inch or so.
