-nitrowhat am i missing whats so special about ullrichs bars besides they are ungodly low the man is awesome

I've been trying for a while. Notice how many of the pros are now using the lower bar position (pointed down).
Theory is that you can get a better grip and more leverage for more power. I have used this position for a while and find it more to my liking too. But I have yet to find the straight bar. I have thought about getting a piece of pipe from the hardware shop and putting that in the clamps. Just has to be the right internal or external diameter (depending on how thay clamp on) -

-nitroThey talked about the new bars on OLN. Apparently they are more aerodynamic as the air flows better over the hands.

Yes dude- even all the Bontrager carbon wheelsets and disks were designed by HED and boommoooo a different logo applied....how dare they!
50% of the bikes on the tour are not completely what they are branded- thats for all the I wanna be like Jan's like you- to get you pulled into the LBS and fork over the cash without researching what it is you are buying.

I thought we were talking about handlebars, not what stickers are on wheels and frames?
