Tri bar fitting

Already asked this in the triathlon section but thought I would post it here to get some responces from those who have them for TTs:
My handlebars are the type that imediatly they leave the stem they flatten out and take a more "aero" posistion (or so they manufactures claim). This causes problems in that I can't get any type of fittings that need to clamp round the bars. Even my computer mount has to go on the stem as it won't go round the bars.
I'm looking to get some tri bars but I need some that don't attach via cliping onto the handle bars. Some might say the quick solution would be to get new handlebars, but then that means redoing shifters, cables, bar tape and of course the cost of new bars, I thought I would try and find a way round it first
Obviously I've had a little look at Oval Concepts, but then I've also looked at my bank balance, anyone know of any other makes of tri bars that utalise different methods of clamping?

Control tech do the stem mounted ones as well as Oval. An Oval stem and tri bars should not be that expensive as long as you dont go for carbon.0

yeah i have the Oval Concepts R700 stem with the double over SCCS mount, managed to blag carbon single bend extensions from ebay for £30, also got the Alu s-bend and carbon arm rests, don't make me add all that up because it wasnt cheap. In my opinion the best compromise solution between a full aero-bar setup, there is no chance of them moving and no danger of you crushing your sexy carbon bars.0
