I saw
and have been messing around with a pair of clip on aero bars that I can't get to work quite right, and I think I've figured out what I want on the front end of my bike. But nobody's selling it, so I must not want it. Anyway, what I think I want:
30 cm across the hoods
38 cm across the drops
Very long (180mm?) Reach
Very short (30mm?) Stem
The goal would be to have a stable position in the drops, a narrow/ aero cruising position on the hoods, and a pseudo-aeroski position gripping the hoods and resting your forearms on the top of the bars. So what am I not getting about how bikes work that make this a bad option? Or is this maybe worth trying to prototype?
