I was being a friendly sarcastic.
He wanted to do it 'road bike style, which I support. But then want's to use an aero initial, just seems hypocritical to the initial idea.
Personally I'm all for free speed. I look like the biggest twat going on my TT bike, but free speed!
But a TT helmet in a road bike position isn't always going to be more aero, a ride bike aero helmet might be.
Skinsuit will make a big difference.

Hence the need to test lids. If I was going road bike I'd probably be looking at the aero road helmets. Think Giro do one with a detachable visor that looks decent (by looks I obviously mean performs, you still look like a penis wearing it).

Nothing might be better than either, and it's still a permitted option under CTT regulations.

If he's not comfortable on aerobars though, no point forcing the issue. Same with lightweight riders - it's often better to give them shallower wheels so they can ride without shitting themselves every time there's a gust.
Obviously if you can, I would throw EVERYTHING aero at the problem.
