At that list price they must be so fast that I doubt I could keep up with them........

Take your pick... both of these sets of bars are new and each retail for $1200. For $850 you can have a set of the fastest bars in the world...

Carbon Concord Bar - $1200
Wind tunnel testing is the final proof of aerodynamic efficiency. The designers at Blackwell Research have spent more than 1000 hours studying every aspect of bike and rider. The result is the most aero, ergonomically friendly and advanced aero bar ever created. Every aspect, from the patented "Wrist Relief" extensions to the patented "Multi fit Tendon Relief" elbow pads has been studied and designed for the ultimate in speed and comfort.
