Claim:
An aerobar assembly for a bicycle, comprising: a pillar stem including, at a first end, a stem-securing structure for securing the pillar stem to a generally vertical stem of a bicycle and, at a second end, an integral support structure; an aerobar bracket sub-assembly including a bracket, aerobars adjustably secured in the bracket, and at least one aerobar bracket fastener for attaching the bracket to the support structure, wherein the bracket of the aerobar bracket sub-assembly includes bracket openings through which the aerobars slidably extend, and at least one transverse opening through which the at least one aerobar bracket fastener extends, the aerobar bracket fastener being arranged to be threaded into a corresponding threaded opening in the support structure, wherein tightening of the fastener in the threaded opening in the support causes the bracket to clamp the aerobars, and wherein when the fastener is loosened, the aerobars may be slid in an axial direction to provide said fore-to-aft adjustment; an arm rest sub-assembly including an arm rest support removably secured to the support structure of the pillar stem by at least one arm rest support fastener, arm rest plates, and arm rest plate fasteners for adjustably securing the arm rest plates to the arm rest support; and handlebar clamps and handlebar clamp fasteners for removably securing a handlebar to the support structure of the pillar stem, wherein the bracket of the aerobar bracket sub-assembly, the arm rest support of the arm rest sub-assembly, and the handlebar clamps are each separately and removably attached to the support structure by said aerobar bracket fastener, said arm rest support fastener, and said handlebar clamp fasteners, respectively.
