I have a Specicalized Allez Elite that I have setup for Triathlons. I have Syntace 15 degree drop bullhorns that sweep back and the Syntace C2 Aerobars. These aerobars have a nice hourglass shape that allows 2 or 3 different hand positions in the aero position. It's nice not to have to totally break from your aero position when you need a comfort change along your ride. The bullhorns sweep back which I find is nice for climbing. This is my third setup and by far the most comfortable, and best looking I might add. I too kept my STI shifters and actually prefer them to bar ends. Also too, for normal riding I find sitting up on the bullhorns to be exactly like riding up on the hoods of regular drop road bars.
