I have carbon strykes on my road bike. ever since I got my tri bike and have felt the difference between riding in aero on a tri vs. road bike I can hardly stand to be in aero on the roadie. Should I take them off and sell them of keep 'em on?

Since you have a tri bike, you really don't need them on your road bike, and in fact the different positions they put you in on the two bikes may actually be detrimental.

sell 'em.  I now have a road and tri bike and like having the different geometries.  Would you ever ride your road bike in a tri now?????

Sell them to me; I have aerolites and hate them. How much do you want?

Don't most cycling-only events prohibit them anyway?  So it makes sense to have your road bike ready for road events if you're just going to have to take the bars off anyway.  Seems like if you already hate them, once you take them off you aren't going to go through the effort to put them back on.  Sell 'em while they're hot! 

Even if you don't plan on entering any cycling events, if you ride with elitist cyclists they won't give you dirty looks for having defaced your bike with "tri" bars.  <sarcasm>

You might have a few occasions to use them (a group century ride or a MS ride- but that's only if you keep to riding in a very small group). I probably wouldn't keep them around just for that. And, it sounds like you already have a buyer (previous post).

Keep them on and don't sell them. Even if you don't use them, they look bitchin' on a bike.
