Aero bars

I went and got a Giant Trinity 2009 about a month ago. I decided to go for an all out tri bike although I'm new. After measuring and re-assuring me the bike shop put me on a medium sized bike (something about me having a long back that required a medium size). They had to adjust the seat hight a little, but other than that it fits like a charm....except the aero bars, they seem to long.
I have to reach out really far to reach the gears which are quite stiff so I tend to wobble a bit when I'm on the bike which sorta ruins my momentum and (is that the word? - sorry I'm danish, couldn't find a better one) makes the aero postion quite tough to hold as well for a longer period of time.
My question is this then: Are there any ways of shortening the bars? Painted on the side of them are wee scales, so I thought maybe a bike shop could reposition the gears somehow by shortening the bars one way or another? Saw them shorter or something?
Any thoughts are appriciated.
Thanks guys.

I used a hacksaw and after about 10 minutes of sawing they were done....
