I have a hand-me-down set of Profile aero bars - can anyone identify the name or model number?

If so, does anyone know how to change the extension of the bars to move the handholds in/out? I've taken them apart and still can't see how to manipulate that setting.

I believe these are a semi-early model of the Split Second bars.

If you're talking about moving the pads to have your elbows closer together, what you do is pull the pad off the plastic base (be careful, sometimes the stick-on velcro wants to come off as well) to access the bolt head. Back that out and re-thread into one of the other holes in the bracket that's cantilevered off the bar mounting clamp.

If you're talking about how narrow the bars themselves are, that's just where you clamp them onto your existing base bar. You'll be limited to how wide (or narrow) the bulged section is on the base bar.

Hope that helps.

Where the clamp is on the bottom look down the tube from the back and see if you can see a nut inside. You should be able to get at the nut from the back. Probly a hex.

Thanks guys. Turns out the bar was just stuck. For future people who find these bars, the inside looks like the picture below and the bolt inside keeps the bar-end in place.
