Aero Bar Water Bottle Set-up

Again, for everyone that e-mailed me, thanks for the encouragement and your questions are always welcome. I think I responded to everyone individually, but incase others were wondering the same thing but were afraid to ask...

A number of you asked for a little better pictures of my front aero bar set-up well, here they are. The aero bars are Profile Design's ZBS bars and the base bar is an old T2 wing. The ZBS bars are 3cm lower in stack than the T2+ ones that I used last year. This allowed me to use a negative 17 degree (horizontal to the ground) stem rather than the negative 40 degree stem I was previously using.

The bottle cage is a Trek Bat Cage purchased because it was really cheap and allowed drilling of additional holes. The cord on the bottle cage is a piece of elastic shoe string that helps hold the on-course Gatorade bottles in place.

I have 20.0cm (200mm) of drop from my seat top to my arm rest pads. This is mainly due to the fact that I have gorilla length arms and that I do like to ride relatively steep.

Oh, and finally, the Cervelo S3 is Ben's, not mine. You'll have to ask him those questions. I just covet his bike from a wheel sucking position.
