Too much of an upturn, and the flat section is too short once the upturn is trimmed. If I can find an 26.0 basebar only version of the Bontrager XXX aero bar, that would be perfect.

That would be perfect, if it was 26.0. I don't really want to swap over my entire front end

What extensions are you running?

Blackwell makes a base bar in 26.0. It's hard to tell what the upturn looks like from the website though.

Does it have to have an aero profile?

Vision Clipons, but the real reason is that it is next to impossible to find a neg 17 degree stem anymore.

Does it have to have an aero profile? Nope. Round is fine with me.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I have a neg 17 stem already (Ritchey). But trying to find one in the OS diameter is very difficult, I'm not sure if anyone makes them.

Specialized makes an adjustable stem of sorts. It gets to -16 degrees. I know its not ideal to swap the front end, but here it is:

what about the Syntace Statos? They come in a few different iterations.

Thanks for mentioning Syntace, I always seem to forget about them, even though I love their products.

I see they have a new clip-on bar coming out soon, according to their website. The C3. They also do a really cool adjustable stem setup, consisting of a pair of "peanut" clamps.
