Looking to make an upgrade to my 2013 Felt S32 aero bars.
The stock bars are not aero at all (round aluminum base bar) with terrible cable management. Not looking to go all carbon, would like to spend around $100.
What do you recommend?

Vision clip on and Vision Base bar, that is what I put on my S32 when I had it. It’s going to be more than $100 for both of them.

At that price, older aluminum Vision base-bar (may need a 26.0 stem) and Vision clip-ons. Biggest bang for the buck, I think.
I went with aluminum Vision base bars as mentioned above.
If you’re patient, go set up some saved searches in eBay for: Vision base bars, Vision aerobars, Profile Design basebars, Profile Design aerobars, etc. Also check ST classifieds every day. Eventually auctions come up for less than $100.
You are welcome.

Boom. #youcanowemepartdeux
The finish won’t match, as the base bar is glossy and the aerobars are matte, but for this much money you can’t be picky. May be worth spending another $10-15 to get 42cm instead of 40cm though…
These even come with the zipp pad extenders. Not a more affordable/adjustable bar out there. Internal cable.

Nice. Thanks!
The 42cm is sold out. looks like i’ll order the 40cm, which is my current size.
on the bars, I currently have flat bars and find those comfortable. Not sure I’d enjoy the J bend bars.
i ordered the 40cm alloy bars like you, RDL. i just got a call from bikeonline that the bars i ordered are NOT the vision alloys that are shown in the picture. he said that they are actually rounded carbon bars. i’ll be cancelling my order. did this happen to you?
bummer is that i picked up a set of vision brake levers from the classifieds anticipating the bar. anyone have an aluminum vision base bar they wanna sell me?
I had a very hard time tracking down the old aluminum vision basebar as opposed to the newer redesign. Many sites have a picture of the old bars but if you check #'s are selling the redesign. I eventually found them on amazon I think, so they are available. (I’ve got a pair of used vision brake levers, btw)
