I wonder if the likes of 3T will continue to produce and sell non their non UCI complient parts for the tri community? I believe from the Cyclingnews interview they were working on a more adjustable Vento bar, which would be great for us triathletes but obviously thanks to the loverly folk at the UCI will now probably never see the light of day ![]()
When I’m done using my rare -17 Ventus aerobars, maybe I can sell them for something like an AIG derivatives trader’s tax bill.
Having worked around composites I can tell you the tooling costs to make those bars were huge. I can’t imagine they’d just stop making them because they can’t be used in UCI races. I doubt they’re actually selling the bars to the UCI teams anyway.
