Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I doubt you're going to find carbon fiber midge bars. The market for those bars is a very small niche to start, and it's not a weight weenie crowd.

You might find something vaguely similar by googling "carbon track bars" and looking at images.

Zipp Carbon bars flare out like that to a very mild degree. They're beautiful and light, but freakin' expensive.
