    Vision Aero Bars

    I've looked at the bars again and can not find the model. After looking "under the tape" they are not the all carbon bars (which sell for $579) but the non carbon version which sells for $269. In addition, they have Shimano light action shifters (sell for $80). DH swapped brake levers (non carbon, but match the shifters) (sell for $30). And they are already neatly wrapped with handlebar tape. So new these cost almost $400. There's a similar pair on eBay with auction ending today that I expect to go for >$200.

    Aero bars generally come in only one width - it's not like fitting a drop road bar where you try to match the width of the bar to the width of your shoulder. These are about 41 cm center to center. The length of the bars is important - these were a little too long for me (I'm very petite) - if I had kept the set up I would of had the bars cut down. So make sure 250 is long enough for you since you can't add length (they were fine for my 5'10" DH).

    You'll need a 26 mm stem. It wasn't difficult changing the bike from the aero bars to drop road bars so I don't think you'll have much difficulty going from road bars to aero bars.
