Aero bars that don't spoil the fold

I could actually replicate this if i nicked the bars & TT levers off my single speed, not sure quite where I'd but the SA shifter though - this one a hasa DI2 alfine 11 on it.

I don't think that will fold properly without swinging the bars round though

I think you'd be surprised. It all depends on the width of the bars.

With old school bar-ends, mine is not dissimilar.

As for the original post - I've seen people in the BWC simply rest their forearms on the bars (even on S-bar bikes).

I had a go once, but aside from the fact it was very uncomfortable in the gentleman's area, it was pretty dangerous getting into and out of position.

Just in reference to the above - the guy in the gold helmet (who went on to win that year I think) used it quite a bit throughout the race.
