The race is on to make the trickest, lightest, all carbon aerobars. As much as I love my Oval A700 aluminum bars, I couldn’t help lusting after some of these carbon offerings. Oddly enough, despite the near complete conversion to straight or s-bend extensions in the pro ranks, there were very few such extensions at the show. Oval had several different extensions on display, but like an idiot, I didn’t shoot them. There were some new TT helmets on display as well, but none available to the public yet (aside from the Garneau Prologue, which has been available for a while).
