    Here's the new synapsi that finally arrived!
    Now that is one cool handlebar - and it's soooo comfortable!
    Love it!

    Wow- that's really cool!

    Any idea if it's road race legal?

    Highly doubt it - from the USACycling handbook:

    Handlebars used for steering with ends, features, or attachments that extend forward or upward or that provide support for other than the the rider's hands are permitted only in time trial and pursuit events.

    Oooh I really like that. It looks cool and comfortable.

    My bike lust/want list is getting longer and longer.

    No, sorry, it's UCI illegal. But it is awesome on a training bike!

    That is a cool-looking setup. Is that an EC90 fork? I am coveting the SL or SLX.

    I really like those! Not as intrusive as tri bars, and I like the wider top bar.

    It's actually the EC70, and it's nice but I've been thinking of swapping it for the original fork they mount on the FdJ bikes... haven't decided yet...
