For reasons too petty to go into, I'm trying to build a bike under a certain amount of money to take a locally popular strava segment from a douche I know who used a faired recumbent to score the KOM.
The part I need help with is the aero bars. I want to make them both literally and visibly cheap. It will help with the reaction when he asks how I took his strava segment and I show him the bike, so buying them for cheap on craigslist will not do. They need to look ghetto as fuck. Any ideas? Could I just buy a couple steel pipes and some bolt fastener of some sort to get aero bars? If so, what sort of pipe and what sort of fastener? I have a vague idea of how this could work, but I need specifics from someone who knows what they're talking about.
