Why not? :-)
Is that the popular thing now? What do you do at the beginning when you are trying to accelerate and reach maximum speed? What about if you need to get our of the saddle to get up a hill? What about accelerating out of a corner? Seems like it would be hard without the basebar. Does one gain much aero wise without one?

See Greg's descriptions above about how he uses them.

...and the answer to your last question is "Yes."

(BTW, there IS a base bar on his setup...it's just really small ;-)

Definitely a "different" setup. Not sure what to make of it.

See the "what aerobars do you use" thread for a full description.

I used the best individual parts I could find to make it :)

Actually, I did that on the whole bike...perhaps a new thread is in order.

Hey!...shouldn't you be getting on an airplane or something? :-)

Have a safe trip!

Tmw, 8:55pm arive @ 9:55.

Didn't break 20dF today, so looking forward to seeing my pasty white skin in the sunlight (bring your dark glasses!)

Well...lucky enough for the rest of us, it looks like it'll be cool enough that you can keep the leg and arm warmers on and not look out of place :-)

See ya Sunday!

No sat for you?

And you may be in warmers, but if it is a degree over 50 (and forecast shows mid 60s, it will be shorts and short sleeves for me :)

That whole acclimated to the cold thing.

I think (to bring it back to topic-ish) I will start a thread about the da buildup.

....that's a "maybe" (but not likely) right now.

Cool. Are you going to reveal the info that caused you to choose that frame in the first place? ;-)

\ Either design is going to test better than a simple airfoil shape that does not fair the rear wheel at all.

Do you know of any tests that have compared designs that have no fairing in front of the rear wheel/no seat-tube (eg zipp) with one that does (p3c, da, etc)? I assume that's what you meant by 'simple airfoil shape'. or is this just a guess?
