Hey there, I'm wondering about getting a custom handlebar for my touring bike. Essentially, I'd want a specific amount of reach, a lot of sweep back (as in, way more than a Nitto Noodle), and ergo drops. As far as I know, no such animal currently exists.

What I'm wondering is:
- can it be done (I assume yes)
- is there a frame maker who is known for doing custom bars
- how much should I budget for such a project
- can I bend an existing bar (steel or aluminum) instead, or is that a bad plan
