Dont think it was in RST, I just did an extensive search.

Want: 58cm Cervelo Soloist. PM me if you have one to sell

Separate front inserts for different preferred aero bar ends.

Modify the shape so a front mounted drinking system will fit in there easily

Internal cable routing (holes will likely be cheaper than grooves)

Good idea tho

What I think is missing from this as well as the Retro thread is the best shifting system EVER for aero bars - GRIP SHIFT!

Meh...I've got a set of 8sp DA Grip shifters that I could have used on the 100K bar (and also put the "bridge" in place)...but, IMHO they're a bit bulky...not too mention limiting me to 8 speed. I actually like the slightly higher hand position that running my regular bar-end shifters upside down affords.

Don't worry though...those shifters aren't going to waste. They're installed on my '86 Bianchi Sport SX as bar end shifters on the drops :-)

I think it is a great idea...but, I would not be shocked if someone at Profile, Scott (who is still around) or Leonard was to drop a meanie letter.

R10 you must be conflicted about this thread

on the one hand its ridiculous aero weenie stuff
on the other, its so wonderfully retro!

Aerobars that are up to 3lbs lighter than current bars...I am all for that.

Keep in mind that patent life in the US is limited to 20 years for most things ... so, if these were introduced in 1990 or earlier, their patent has likely expired.

Hey Andrew,

Im not sure if you will be able to set me straight, but for some reason I remember that there was testing done on both the 100k and the scott extremes (I went through two sets of these), and the drag numbers were worse than the base-bar/aero bar combo. I took it as a surprise at the time, as I thought that they 'looked' the fastest. My recollection was that the testing was done pre-slowtwitch, and appeared on RST a bunch of years ago (maybe back around 2000ish). Am I remembering this completely wrong? This was the main reason that I abandoned the extremes and went to a vision tech base bar/ clipon (well that, and I got a set of vision techs for near nothing).

I don't recall ever seeing any wind tunnel data for the Scott 100k bars. However, Dr. Jim Martin (hi Jim! <g>) did some handlebar (and helmet) testing for Project 96 that included the Scott Extremes. Compared to round cowhorns + clip-ons, they were actually slightly less aerodynamic, possible because their mouthharp shape meant that there were two sections of round tubing crossing the wind.

Hmmm....judging by his response above ("Don't mess with perfection! I'd buy a pair of reproductions.") I would guess the 100Ks aren't as bad as the Extremes...pure speculation though ;-)

As I indicated, I don't think Jim ever tested the 100k bars. I agree, though, that their narrowness/lesser curvature than the Extremes makes it seem likely that they are more aero, although not necessarily more aero than modern conventional bars.

(I need to dig up the old pics of my Shogun/Nishiki 24"/700C funny bike fitted with Scott 100k bars and post 'em to the retro thread. Come to think of it, I should have some pics of it fitted with Scott Extreme bars as well, which are what I used on it during my 2 y as a duathlete.)

Maybe if somebody finally gave you back your tubing bender you could just make some? ;-)

can you just zip-tie the things narrower?

Not really...they're fairly stiff.

I think it's an open question. I really don't consider the set up to which you compared it to be that ideal. The brake levers are pretty clunky, and the hardware on the Profile bars seems less-than ideal. Also, if you used the stock Profile arms rests, those alone could be adding some drag. Add into that the variability of field testing... I'm not saying it's not faster, just that I'm not convinced.


Personally, I'd still put my slightly-modified one-piece Vision bar up against it. Of course, there's that UCI thing...

Do you feel you lose anything at the start/turnaround? (better question: how long does it take you to do the first 1000 feet of a flat TT with that set-up).

Nope...not at all. I'll look at the start and turnaround from the 20K TT I did on Sunday sometime tonight and get back on that.

In any case, I don't think those sections of a 20K or 40K course are anywhere near as critical to overall time as they would be for, let's say, a track sprint event or a pursuit ;-)

They aren't listed on the CeeGees website, but you can usually find them selling the "transformer arm rest plates" on ebay...like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/...?hash=item2556e6f61c

Like I mentioned earlier though, on the 100Ks the set angle of the arm rests and the limited straight section of the bar tends to put them in a position where each arm rest is "pointing" at the opposite shifter location. I've gotten used to that though, and it's not uncomfortable at all...there's still a lot of "leeway" in how you place your elbows/forearms in the cups.

Those are the same pair that I am giving to Jackmott for the 100k bars that he just bought. Also send him some Jagwire Shifter mounts. I can not wait to see his set up.

I have owned and used both the scott extremes and 100k and the 100k is a MUCH narrower bar...

If the extremes were slow (not surprising, like was mentioned harp, 2x round sections) the 100ks would definately be faster as the narrowness of the bars definately (especially in Tom's position) tend to lead and drag the arms:

I could have bought those bars off of JEFF that had them before Christmas but I am thinking that I do not want to go that extreme. I would like to have a bit more bar and mount the brake levers under the armrest like Andrew had mentioned. I am not looking for a set up like pictured above but something more like a TWEENER set up. More aero than what I am using now but I want to play around with the set up so that I can actually use them in races as well.
