In 1987 The Scott DH handlebar became the first aerobar to achieve popularity in triathlon. The improved aerodynamic advantage from the hands forward position instantly took minutes from your bike split.

So in early-2021 I bought 4 sets on eBay. Long story. Then I started to trace the history of the bars and how they first made their way to triple-effort start lines in the USA and the UK.

Thanks to Brad Kearns, Scott Molina and Phil Gable for all your help on this episode and your overall enthusiasm for the project!
