Aero bar recommendation for "thick" handle bar?

My question is, what brand (if any) of aero-bars would you recommend
that would work with my handlebars? Is there any way to use my
existing aero-bars with the my handle bars?

Syntace C2 should work fine...it has a clamp similar to the two-bolt
faceplate commonly found on threadless stems.

Hmmm... I did a little more research on what i have. It seems my bars
are 31.7 mm Deda Newton's. I just looked on syntace's web site at the
C2 - they look perfect for my needs, except for the following spec:

Clamp Ø
26.0 mm

So, they don't claim to fit by bars. argh.

Any other recommendations, or can anyone say if the C2's will actually
fit?

Thanks!

Try the Deda Clip One Aero Bar. It's available in 31.7. And it's pretty,
too.

Thanks for the info... looks like there are a couple of choices.
FYI, i wrote to Syntace to ask if their C2 would clip on a 31.7 and
here's the response i got (a bit of broken english, but a very prompt
reply):

Yes, all Syntace aerobars will fit on 31.8mm base bars if you use it
together with the Syntace 318 Kit (see: http://www.syntace.com )
Just check two things:

1. Has your bar a wide enough straight center section to leave about
20mm space beneath the stemhead for the aerobar?

2. Is your base bar approved from the manufacturer for beeing used
with aerobars?
(We recommend only to use such base bars that have a special
reinforced centersection because of fatiguelife issues)
