Do y’all remember that old dude on Brian Forums from way back who made a bunch of weird coroplast and plastic wrap fairings and lights for his bikes and named them like Type 8 and Type 9?

This would be that guy with a 3d printer.

Maybe a couple of neat little brackety things in there but otherwise holy cow!

I was not on brianforums so I was getting more Windjammer 2026 vibes


Is this what the kids call a self-own?

ATMO safer and probably more comfortable to use those than trying to puppy-paws or hold the sphinx position on a normal bar with minimal grip on the hoods.

All this stuff looks goofy but people want to get faster/use less watts/be more comfortable, and you can’t easily get a road bike with enough reach to run forward saddle positions with normal length stems. So we get stuff like this :person_shrugging:

yeah if monocoque carbon had been accessible when aero bars were invented/allowed initially in racing we would be more familiar with this
