Not aero, but one-piece bars and stem. Nice to ride.
Comfortable.

so that when you add cork tape on the top they are very
soft. A PITA to get the cables threaded. The computer mount
thing (the sticking out bit in the middle) has a habit of
dropping off.

Sorry, by "aero", I didn't mean tri-bars/aero-bars, I meant
"fancy-schmancy-skinny-reduce-drag-kinda-design-bars".
"aero, bar" as opposed to "aero bar" ;-)

Suggestion: Don't crash with these bars.. the repair bill
would make you cry! (Well, it'd make ME cry )
