I've placed my forearms over my Alba bars a few times and it just feels too odd from the width, so bar ends placed there would be mute. A real set of aero extensions that are placed @ the middle of the bars feels a whole lot more intuitive and natural, but I have no desire to do this on any of my bikes. The only times I've ever felt the need for extensions was with my ol' Stumpjumper that was waaaayyyyyy too short of top tube/front center. No amount of extending could ever help that, as going further forward on too short of bike only threw off the fore/aft balance within the frame. My Bombadil is nice and long and the Alba bars offer lots of fore/aft room as I have bar end brake levers so I can move my hands all the way to the curves unfettered by clunky brake lever mounts.
