One thing I did notice when I cut it shorter is that although the outside of the seatpost is round, the inside is oval meaning their extrusion is smartly shaped to not include extra material that is not needed. I thought it was a nice touch. It seems smartly engineered & does what it says easily enough.

The aerobars I chose were the carbon "S"-bend. They seem light enough & each have a cut-out for internal cable routing should you choose to utilize bar end shifters. The elbow pads are very adjustable in their placement & made from a comfortable, firm foam rubber type material covered in a bonded lycra type fabric. They velcro for easy removal/washing.

I don't have much reference for aerobars (hence my other thread), but these seem well enough & really do clip on securely & off easily in seconds like they claim.

Color me impressed.
I haven't made the typical NBD post yet, buuuuuuuuut I may have dropped 3k+ on the Argon 18 e-117 tri disc cause N+1. Have $300 fit scheduled on Sat and am currently trying to figure out what powermeter to get a la my Crankset PowerMeter Suggestions and Compatibility thread...

Yes, I hate myself... I'll be eating Raman for awhile.
