  • Another important feature of the bike, the most notable first use of the aerobars: In 1989, the Swiss bicycle manufacturer Scott introduced one of the most significant product innovations in the history of cycling – the clip-on aerodynamic handlebar. The handlebar was strategically utilized by Greg LeMond, when he beat Laurent Fignon by nearly a minute in the 24.5km final time trial, and won the Tour de France with the narrowest margin in its history: eight seconds. The elbow pads placed at near shoulder width, forearms elevated about 15 to 20 degrees, and hands in a fist position. Pioneered by aerodynamicist Boone Lennon, this was the birth of the modern aero position.

    Quote I think about the nitto/scott aerobars, just got a set myself but missing the original pad extensions :-( Let me know if you ever wanna sell yours
