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

Can someone explain the difference between the 3t Ergosum, Ergonova, and Rotundo bars?

well there are a few. first would be the reach and drop are different for each bar. the ergonovas have a flat top section short reach and drop. the ergosums have a ego bend and slightly longer reach and more drop than the ergonovas with a round top section. the rotundos have a classic bend with a longer reach and more drop than either of the two.

also each model is offered in a pro, team, and LTD editions. the pros models are mad of ALU, the teams of carbon with a uniform thickness, and the LTD of carbon with a varying thickness (lighter)

they are all great bars in their own right.
