Hey everyone..
Got fitted for the first time a few days ago, and turns out the handlebars or whatever are a bit too far out for me.. and since my bars aren't length adjustable... I had to either buy a new one or stick with what I got... I ended up sticking with what I got since I'm too broke at the moment to shell out some cash for some aerobars...

Soooo just wondering if anyone has one that I can borrow.. I'll leave a deposit or whatever necessary. =]
I'll need it for the weekend of October 25th.. but preferably a few days in advance so I can get it adjusted to fit me correctly.
Thanks!!!

Thanks once again!!

Do you know the clamp size for the stem you have, and then length?

No I don't. Still kinda new to this.. how can I find out?
We swapped out the stem from 100mm to 80mm already..
So my forearm is resting on the cushion at a good spot.. just need the handle or bars or whatever a bit closer so that I can actually grip it better.

The handlebars might say it on them, should be 27.2 or 31.8mm.
