Aerobars

[kelownagirl]

I want to get aerobars for my road bike. I like being down low when I'm riding and I often end up with my arms resting on the bar in that position anyway so I figure it's time to try them. Also, I want to eventually do duathlons or triathlons, or maybe even try a TT.

So... I looked at some at the LBS and saw there were several styles. The one he was steering me towards has the ends that go up and connect, similar to the picture I've attached. The other ones had straight bars that went straightout. These ones could have shifters added if you want. He said they were a more aggressive style and less comfortable because my wrists would be in a less natural position. He also said the other style was a more introductory style and very popular.

What kind do you have? What kind would you recommend for someone in my position?

Thanks,
