it's interesting to note Duragrouch's three bikes and the difference in height of the aerobars on each one, there is quite a difference with some of them rather low.
Certainly compared to the photo I added, and shows a wide range of preferences doesn't it?
Not as it would seem.
The red road bike was used 1989 to 2005, when I was more racy and flexible, though I still needed to add forearm rest risers.
The white bike was never ridden, I picked it up for a song at a garage sale working out of town, was skipping teeth, traced to one bonked chain link, removed, worked perfect. Took a good wash, had what seemed like oil or something else dried to a varnish on the frame, eventually washed off, cleaned up like new. There was a local bike shop that had a regular swap meet, I flipped a couple bikes (took that nice triple crank and long cage RD off one first to put on the red bike), and picked up fenders and aeros cheap so I put them on just for grins. Never rode that bike before putting in bike box for storage almost a couple decades ago. I did buy from Nashbar a much raised quill stem for it to better fit me, but never installed, that's still in wrapper too.
I rode a hybrid 700c for a couple years, then got my folder for easier transport, added racks and panniers and aeros, never quite right for 7 years until, when needing to swap out frame due to terminal seat tube crack, I finally did the 2X conversion, should have done so many years ago, like night and day for a hilly city like mine. And even though bars are a lot higher, I still need to raise the aeros, and swap out for ones with wider forearm pads, which I have, but still not quite able to find 70mm double clamps to raise, but I think someone suggested some on another thread, I should go back and find that and order. EDIT: Found thread and link, yep, 68mm c-t-c, that's about as close as I'm going to get on ones that look stout enough and not for just light and computer mount, etc, and these do.
