Using Profile adapters for a couple of applications

Yes - a lot of people cringe when they see this setup on a Derosa, --- but the big 31.8 Salsa Bell Lap bars and Thomson MTB'ish looking stem make for a rock solid handling platform, --- it instantly made the front end feel more precise




--- I'm salivating here --- The Thomson/Salsa setup will never be as pretty as this Nitto/Soma ensemble though, but i'm good with that for the performance improvement

As well, a Japanese cockpit is not really traditional on a Italian bike either, especially when Campy equipped, -- but I am most comfortable on 46 bars, and soma makes a great short and shallow version



Track bike ---- profile adapter , and again with wide 46c bars, this time 3T --- not traditional or any good for a track sprint, ---- but I was just putting in laps and wanted to be comfortable

-- On this one, I threw some silver spacers under the stem to make the adapter look less odd




Gratuitous pics of dogs --- because I'm away from home for work and they make me happy
