love these double stems welded into the fork crown!

Probably not very aero----at least less aero than if they had placed one stem in front of the headtube, but cool.

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

Could have built up the crown with material in front of the head tube and put a single stem on like you suggested. I like that idea a lot more than the double but still pretty cool looking.

I had forgot about those. Looks like about 6 feet of neon yellow tubing. The extra bends might give some additional positions, if one is into that sort of thing.

I think the coupler for the middle part of the bars would be worth getting just to put a couple of extensions and then you would have a real aero or die set up.

Single bend extensions matched up with coupler, vision levers further down the extensions with the bar con shifters in the standard position. Arm rests held in place with a Profile arm rest extensions.

As aero or die as possible.

those bars add back all the drag you take away by making your body aero, lol

They are WAY aero with original drop brake levers mounted backwards and then adding "Swift Shift" was the icing on the cake...sure it was...that is the ticket..

I've tried a similar set-up, and here's the problem: when the arm rests are cantilevered well off to the left/right of the extensions, they are very flimsy. IMO, "aero-or-die" only means that you are committed to staying the aero position, not that you are willing to die by having an arm rest snap off leading to a face-plant. :-)

Troxel Helmets are a plenty on eBay.

I've read some reports that these might be as fast as any modern TT helmet. Andy, have an opinion on that?

No opinion, but more importantly, no data. :-)

I had an early set and they were called the Oakley "eyeshade". You could buy replacement brow pads. Sweet shades.

Those Etto helmets where the worst things ever. Uncomfortable and ugly. Hey get me 8 dozen! I want my money back.

The 4000 is still pure sex.

inside tri mag has a great article on the invention of the aerobars----giving the credit to Byrne (creator of Speedplay pedals). Good photos too, if someone has a scanner, please post.
