I just installed the OVAL integrated bars. I am doing what I normally wouldn't do, that is I am racing on them this morning without ever trying them.

The construction is solid, the aerodynamics are evident by their frontal profile; cable routing is good; adjustability is fair (there is a bit of weld inside the left wing which impairs shortening the aerobar itelf without cuttin--no big deal, I just have to be sure of the length before cutting). I like the VisionTech style pads and risers.

I should note that my usually cynical mechanic was impressed by their construction, and he is a hard guy to get anything positive out of.

According to J Cobb, they are only 3-4 seconds slower than the HED bars, but much stiffer and a lot cheaper.

I'll give you guys a post-race report. I'll probably suck big-time due to lack of form (being a personal trainer doesn't always mean you have time for your own training).
