FYI...Cheap Aero Bar upgrade

These Aero bars are $19 on Amazon:



I Didn't like the way they looked or felt with the foam, so I hack-sawed them and wrapped them in bar tape...So now they look like this (not sure why it looks gray, the tape is black, see 2nd picture).




I rode them to work this morning, and I'm happy with the feel, and much happier with the look.

THE END!

Are they still as comfortable as when you posted this, or do you wish you had left them in the original state? just curious...
