Aerobars, tell me about them.

I hear a laugh from a tomb containing the imortal and wickedly sarcastic bones of Sheldon Brown. That bike is surely a legacy of his humour.

I'm sure you can still get bar ends on there too.

They will take away the option of riding with hands close to stem and it’s east to run out of places for lights garmin etc but they add option of tucking small in a head wind ( take some getting used to ) and take all the weight off wrists and hands
I put them on when touring as I find it more comfortable though some may hate it

All the bars are for hands. Lights belong on the fork crown or stem front and computers on stem top. Camera on the headtube.

I like north roads and porters. Nice mix of aero and wide steering upright positions, but it's another where the aero position isn't near brakes, if you care about such things.

I don't need so much (any) real estate for comp or camera, but I do have a fold out, bar mounted map case, a bell, and Mike G's old rubber balled hooter now too..

Lorks - I feel like maybe I should go the whole hog, start wearing tweeds, and smoking a meerschaum pipe as well

That may look a bit accessive. But a lot of the ultra distance guys ride with their hands on the aerobar elbow pads.

Link or picture , by any chance?

A few different variations with different brakes :-)
Gives you a second option of being a bit more upright depending on the angle you set them up as :-)
My suggestion would be bullhorn bars with bar end brake levers and inline brake levers in the middle :-)

Thank you - even more options to think about.

Can see how one could disappear down a worm-hole of configuration variables ..

Glad it wasn't just me that had a chocolate cravings having seen the word written several times..
