First time seeing these bars. What are it's benefits over regular straight bars? Is that bar end built in? It looks like a ball.

Don't like zero sweep, bars , and at 63 
street fixies.. it's just not my scene.
would beOK as a Bulk accessory bar
to hang multiple handle bar mounted widgets from,
Say with a second stem to put it in.

Love the look of a stripped down minimalist bike but I just cant ride straight bars for any real distance without a lot of wrist pain.
When I got back into riding I was starting to have a lot of carple tunnel issues from my desk biased job. Best thing I ever did was quit with a the Mtb commuter and got a bike with drops and started riding mostly on the hoods. After a year all signs of CT gone with the extra movement.
I am thinking my next minimalist bike I build will be with bull horns and bar ends on the tips or maybe a IGH Fixie with the Sturmey S3X 3speed fixie hub. Just too hilly here for this old guy not to have a hill gear.
