I finally have my new VisionTech cockpit installed on my bike. My local bike shop had the base bars stocked, but I had to go online to find the clip-ons because they said VisionTech was having problems keeping up with demand and they couldn’t get their hands on any. I ordered my clip-ons from all3sports.com on Friday and they arrived at my doorstep yesterday. I went today to get them put on.

I walked in the door and the owner of the store smiled and said he finally did manage to get his hands on some. That kind of sucked. I try to give them business whenever I can and would have preferred to buy from them. Oh well. I was paying them for the installation when they would have installed them for free if I bought them there, so they made their money either way.

The bars themselves look sweet. They sit a little further forward and a little lower than my previous bars did, so I’m in a more aggressive position than I’ve been used to riding in. That’s actually a good thing, since I was looking to get more aggressive anyway. We’ll see if my lower back agrees with me tomorrow though. I’ve got a long ride to do so my back will have a good long time to let me know what it thinks.

I’ll try and get some pictures of the whole setup on here sometime soon. The flat base bar, the carbon clip-ons, and the internal cable routing are all so secksay! Stay tuned…
