Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The long reach makes sense on a bar like this though. It is an aero bar after all. They make a deeper drop version, the Aerotundo.
Depends on if your fit is such that you benefit/like having the hoods/brakes/shifting controls an extra 3CM away (AKA 1.2+"). I have a set (of look-a-likes*) on my roadie, and to make it work, I needed a shorter stem. Which the shorter stem makes the tops/hooks closer as well.


*Being such a strange geometry, I wasn't going to spend $300USD on a bar that might not have worked....and trust-me that bar was tested all winter long on the stationary trainer with out of the saddle sprints before it saw any actual road riding.

I remember asking you about the Aeronova before I decided to get one. I did get a shorter stem (80mm vs 100mm) as well. Great handlebar!

I'm interested in the Aerotundo. I like the deeper drops on my steel bike with classic bars, I think I would like that on my new bike. No luck finding a used one though.

I do wrap the top of mine since we have long climbs and I keep putting my palm on the flat surface. I don't actually care about any aero effect...just the comfort they provide. I am desperately looking for another Zipp SL70 aero for my Roubaix. I think $250 is about the best I have seen. If anyone sees a better price, please PM me.

Those 3T aerobars are beautiful! I'm minaly going for the looks of the bars and not so much functionality. As long as the bars are reliable, comfortable and looks good I'm fine. And of course as long as its in my budget.

My wife just showed me an instagram link of these bars. Has anyone heard of them? They look pretty good to me and have a nice price tag on them. I just checked out their site and they are based in the US and have a decent warranty. Though they don't seem to have many products. But for the price I might just pull the plug on them.
