Bjorn trains on his P3c the majority of his training. He will ride the SLC when he is getting ready for some road racing but for the most part, he is on the P3c.

it musta been the 100k bars i have tried then also trying to stand out of a corner. 35mm wide is fine. most handle bars are just barely wider.

yeah those hooker bars were the del. Wasnt there a pro women at kona that didnt eevn have a basebar? custom Cat i think?

ya those are dope bars. heaven forbid you have to make any technical turns with them though. perfect for out and backs though.

The Extremes were 36 cm wide, which is more than wide enough to provide adequate control through tight turns, allow out-of-the-saddle climbing, etc.

The Scott 100k bars were significantly narrowerer, but were still wide enough for anything that didn't require getting out of the saddle.

The Hooker 'aero or die' bars were only ~15 cm wide, but many still used them even on technical courses.

I suppose it all depends on your perspective...

Natascha Badman on her Cheetah. It can be configured with a base bar and I think she's done it that way in the past but then dropped them - guess that's commitment :)

I know a guy who owns a Walser with a stem just like that.

Dimension makes 35 deg flip-flop stems (26.0 clamp) for road bikes. I recently bought two from www.universalcycles.com. Fixed stems are available for in black or white. Weight seem okay for the price $22. Deda makes Newton Pista Stem for 31.8 clamps. However it is not that aggressive and costs 4-8 times more. Dimension makes also adjustable stems ($25) for 26.0 and 31.8 with design almost identical to mu-u-uch more expensive OvalConcepts adjustable road stem.

Had Bjorn wave at us while taking pics during race week in SA - seemed to be enjoying himself and a real nice guy. As for Natascha - had the pleasure of running with her for a while, she SERIOUSLY knows how to enjoy herself during an IM. I know it has been said before, but tri really has some pros that are friendly and genuine!!!

I'm glad, it helped. I think, Bjorn motivated many, myself including, to try more aggressive position. It is never to late - just do it. I started two years ago and it works for me.

It was actually made for him by HED but you can get similar stems from a few different places. Look for some more HED proto stuff on Bjorn's bikes in the coming months.
