Profile Lightning Strike Clip-on Bars

[smurfalicious]

The other day a girl came into the shop while I was getting my fit and had the cutest little clip on bars. Yeah, I called them cute. I just liked how streamlined and tidy they were, they didn't scream "Lookit my clip-on bars! I'm going to rock these on a club ride!" I was told they were discontinued but it turns out they aren't! Yay!

So does anyone have these? They seem totally awesome and until I can commit to a TT bike, heh, like a practical solution. The only downside is the special stem requirement because I REALLY want the hawt wet white Ritchey stem and bars. It also seems like your adjustment is limited somewhat by the length of your stem. I rock a 110mm stem as it stands so I should have some wiggle room. Feedback anyone?

I had clip on aero bars on my road bike until I upgraded to a tri bike. They are great. Your position will need to be professionally adjusted, as the angles are totally different when laying down in aero position. I think it's a great marrying of two different bikes when you only have one.
Were they the shorty aero bars? I have a friend who is on Team USA for triathlon and they have to race with the shorty bars. She loves them.

are they little short ones?? I think I have some carbon ones laying around the shop that have never been used. You can have them if that is what you want- and I can find them in the cluster that is the mechanics domain.

They're these little guys:

So kyoot! I figure I'll have a quick and dirty aero-bar fit done and just mark everything where it needs to go for one or the other. I don't plan on using them enough to justify rearranging the fit I spent $200 on!!! Currently they're back ordered so I just need to cool my damn heels.
