Hi there.
I was at a bike shop in Vegas this week and saw some super-cool handlebars... they were flat on top, carbon fiber with the stem built in. I noticed that the pro racers dont seem to be using these. There must be a down side to this type of bar or the people that can afford them would be using them, right? At $500 a pop, I want to be sure they are worth the money... any input or experience with this type of bar?
thanks!

With the built-in stem, they limit your options for changing the angle and height of your bars.

Sounds like TT bars, like these? http://www.nytro.com/bike-tt-bars.html

nope, not tt bars, they were the shape of regular road bars but the top portion was flat instead of round.

Ah! You're right, the angle of the bar can't be changed. Good point.
