Best Time Trial Aerobars

I recently spent considerable time researching the ‘best’ time trial aerobars. I wanted some bars which were: optimal aerodynamics low weight maximum flexibility to try different positions internal cabling Comfortable to use look good and aero. (i.e. vanity, but nothing wrong with that ) Good value UCI compliant for British Time Trial Championship.. i.e needs to meet the UCI’s 3:1 Aspect rule.

Reviews of Time Trial Aerobars Bontrager XXX lite Time Trial Bars. Weight: 630 grams Internal routing: for brake cables Pad height 60mm Flexibility: not great. There was a limit to how low you could get bars, also I would have liked to get arms closer. I had these for two seasons. They are lightweight, but lacked sufficient flexibility. The arm pads sit quite high up from the base bar, meaning it was difficult to get low position. I actually had to buy a steep angled stem and use it downward sloping stem to get the position I wanted, but this wasn’t ideal. Hed Vantage 8 Time Trial Bars [...]

1984 Bike Tour: Day 63 - The toad in the desert puddle in Aguila

AGUILA, ARIZONA -- We're camping at the City Park here tonight. We've left all the cool, shady mountains behind us, and we're out where it's dry, sunny and hot. The park doesn't have much; just a picnic shelter and a small building for restrooms.
At the back of his building is a water spigot that drips. In the puddle underneath there sits a toad. I noticed him ...
