Assembly delayed

I had a very productive weekend...mostly.
My bike was (emphasis on 'was') all built up by Saturday noon so I took it to my tri shop for a fitting.
I didn't have the handle bars wrapped nor did I cut off the excess brake and shifter cables as I knew some final adjustments would be made before doing that.
I set my bike up on the shop trainer, changed into my tri uniform and mounted up for the fitting to begin.

Shop technician, Trent, hooked me up to 'retul' and we went to work.
The 'retul' fitting program is computorized and I was fitted with sensors along one side of my body starting at the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, heel, and toe.

Trent: Start pedaling and then shift up into your big ring so you're under load.
Me: Yes sir.
Trent: See this side shot of a stick figure on the monitor? that's you.
Me: Cool.
Trent: Now shift up in the big ring and we'll start the analysis. Pedal like you're racing.
Me: OK, here we go.
Trent: Keep pedaling so we can get some good numbers.

We did this several times and each time we changed my saddle hight and body position to produce the best numbers (data sets that fall into the acceptable levels recommended by...experts).

All diled in and we knew that my aero bars needed to be gut back by about 3/4 of an inch so I could work the shifters without having to slide my elbows foreward and off the elbow pads. I know this when I bought the aero bars and many aero bars are made a little long expecting that they'll be custom fitted.

I took my bike down into the mechanics den and cut my Vision carbon aero bars at the prescribed length.
When I inserted the shifters back into the bar ends for mounting, they hit an obstruction so I looked into the end of the bars to find that there was a change in the thickness of the aero bar and the inside diameter abruptly changed to a smaller diameter. The shifter insertion bottomed out which left the shifters sticking out about 1/2 inch too far and beyond reach when in the aero position. Not good.
Mechanic said they have adapters to solve this problem. Good.
Mechanic gave me a set of said adapters. Good.
I attempted to attach the adapters but they were threaded the opposite direction and were not compatible with my Sram TT carbon shifters. Not good.
Mechanic checked on line and said we can call them (Sram or Vision) on Monday (when they're open) to seek a solution.
I hung up my now partially dis-assembled bike in lay-a-way, hung my head, and went back upstairs.
I talked with the shop manager (very astute and knowlegable about all things bike) and she said there is likely not a solution to the incompatibility issue between Sram shifters and Vision aero bars except to exchange the shifters for another brand that fits. Not good.
But, we'll see on Monday or Tuesday.
