*smacks forehead* Why did I never think of that? As a person who always did time trials on his road bike and had to run a size large to get the longer top tube and seat angle, I would have loved to get my aero bars lower. You'd have to reach under the tops to get there, though, wouldn't you?

Also a good sounding plan. I don't recall them going for more than any other old, used handlebar out there. They just weren't a success. Even the rake bars and later the Cinelli Spinace were short lived fads.
