Where does one find the rules regarding aero bars? I have a two piece setup but the extensions are bent up at the end at a 30*ish angle rather than being flat.
bent up doesn't matter, as long as your arms are parallel to the ground. Other rules that would apply would be 3:1 rule for shape, and fitting within the length measuring jig, our saddle would also have to fit within reg's(5cm or more behind bb)..

You can also read:
www.usacycling.org/forms/uci/UCIBicycleRegulations.pdf
which gives essentially the same information as above, but points out the following additional points:
1) You can have your saddle within 5cm of the BB for track SPRINT events, such as the match sprint, 500m, kilo, team sprint.
2) Demonstrates the morphological tests to give exemptions to the measurement rules
3) Arms must form an angle less than 120 degrees to prevent the superman position.
