No more aero bars for me

[BigonaBianchi]

...both types...I don't eat the horrid things and now I've removed the bars from my bike. I found that i hardly used them, mostly because in traffic here I feel unstable on them especially as the big lorries pass to close...going down bury hill last week I nearly came off as i was on the aero bars and couldnt get back to the hoods at speed..oops...so all in all a bit of a waste of time for me anyway..so they are toast..bike looks better now anyway.

Amen to that Brother.

Quite right too. Dairy Milk is nicer.

I would only put them on a bike if I wanted to do a TT, when they enter the 'mutts nuts' category - is set-up correctly.

I like the mint flavour ones.

Proper chocolate, not like that fancy foreign muck!

I had a pair of aero bars on my racer. I went to my doctor and wheeled the bike into the hallway next to the waiting room.
A woman enquired what the bars were and I told her. She then said "do you rest your chin on them?",
only if you're Bruce Forsyth, I replied.
I then overheard one of the receptionists say to the other receptionist I wonder what those things are for on that bike?
The other one replied matter-of-factly "Oh, they're the mounts for a child seat."

Some Belgians may disagree!

What type were they?

Belgian choc is OK but it's nowhere near as good as the real thing.
Regarding Belgians, I only know Uncle Mort and I'm sure I recall him being a Dairy Milk kind of a guy, so to speak.

What happened to Caramac?

 

[Mr Phoebus]

What happened to Caramac?

They're still going strong.

Aluminium

Used to have them on my bike for TT's, now in cupboard !

To just prove how novice I am at biking...I did actually come in to this thread thinking it was something about chocolate!!
