"tease yourself into shape"??
what the heck is that about?
Those weren't the best days for Bicycling! magazine.
otoh, I had forgotten that STI was ever called "dual control". Still haven't tried it out, though.

also "monotone mileage"? I think I know what that might be for me but I'm curious what they had to say about it.

Has anyone ever tried those wild Scott bars in the review? I don't know if I would personally trade what looks like intense discomfort for an 8.7% more aerodynamic ride.

I am going to call BS on that 230g claimed weight for the Scott LF drop bar. I just weighed mine:
Scott Drop LF 41cm
3TTT Prima 220 40cm
3TTT Prima 199 40cm
I mean everyone lies a little about their handlebar weights. The 3TTT Prima 220 is actually 229g and the Prima 199 207g. But lying to the tune of 30g is a bit much.
