Deda Superzero alloy aero road bars

Anyone see these or have any experience? Really nice looking aero road bars made of aluminum and priced well. Not even too heavy for aero bars at 305g.

I can't find much info online about them though.

I considered them, but just went Zero100 instead - internal routing isn't my jam..

Damn... those would look sexy on my steel Zanc. Unfortunately, I clamp too much sh*t to my handlebars (light, bell, Garmin mount), so the aero profile wouldn't work.

They do look good, but I see what you mean about clamping. There is some room in the middle I would assume. Think there is enough for clip on aero bars? Anyone else have any thoughts?

I can *just* get my tape to the 31.8 swell on the zero100, which is where I like it. How do you handle that with the aero?

Damn. That is a really good price and the weight is just about 15 percent more than what I currently have. the deda superzero series is really wrll priced. I got the stem for $47 and it is really well made.

Which aluminum? Economical 6000 series, or much lighter 7000 series...like the light bars have. I've been using some C1 Cannondale Compact bars I really like....made from 7000 series aluminum....really light weight like premium Ritchey WCS aluminum bars, stems, seat posts. Cannondale C2, C3, C4 etc....heavy...made from 6000 series. BTW...my really light Cannondale C1 bar and stem about 1/2 price of "name" brands....and probably made by one of them.

Is there still no company that offers a nice bright LED light with a really long stretch band mounting strap for use with aero drop handlebars? That was the reason I ditched the Specialized Aerofly that came with my Venge. Loved the internal cable mounting but not using a helmet mount for the light.
