So, got the tubing today for the center extension from onlinemetals.com and its the perfect size. A bar end shifter fits perfectly inside! I needed to make a plastic shim to fit the Deda clamp, which took about 5 minutes.
The Deda clamp is 95g
Deda bar and clamp weighs 277g
My bar and the Deda clamp weighs 194g
The clamp itself is pretty heavy (1/2 of the weight of the whole set up). Other than it being plastic or carbon fiber, I cant see a way to lighten it any more significantly. Obviously weight is of very very little concern to me compared to aerodynamics, but, lighter weight is a nice thing too.
Everything will be mounted to this single center bar: bar end shifter for rear, twist shifter for front, water bottle and a 3rd brake lever to scrub some speed. edit: and a wireless computer!
The 3rd brake lever, I just picked up off of eBay for $27 shipped. Such a good deal for this Vision lever.
I still need a 40cm Vision basebar. Trying to grab one at a great price, thus far nothing has shown up.
If this project turns out to be 3/4's as awesome as I think it will be, I will love it.
I've spent $63 on the clamp and extension.
