OP bought the right bike. He just wants to put some aero bars on his more upright geometry endurance bike to cheat the wind a bit as an alternative position and give his arms and core a rest on long rides. Common. No he likely won't win a TT on such a bike. Not what its for. Aero bars can help with fatigue on long steady state rides. Many guys around me ride TT bikes for training. They are set up a bit more upright than pure TT bikes for comfort and yet still more aero than a conventional road bike in the drops.
