So I have a Specialized Venge on order and it come’s with Specialized Aerofly bars which are flat on the tops and have no room to mount clip on tri-bars, the vendor has offered to swap out the Aerofly bars with Easton EC90 Aero handlebars for no cost, the Easton EC90 can fit the clip on Tri-bars. The Specialized Aerofly bars look really cool and very Aero in deed, I have not seen the Easton EC90’s in person, but they are lighter then the Aerofly bars, have flat tops as well, ergonomic and just as stiff as the Aerofly bars according to what i’ve been reading on the Internet.
I am just a beginning triathlete and wanted to start with a road bike with clip on tri-bars then after a few races purchase a full on Tri bike, plus I like doing climbs and sprints which is why i wanted a road bike as well… Which handlebars would you go with and why? Specialized Aerofly bars or Easton EC90 aero
