Bikes: Lots. Mostly steel. Mostly heavy. Mostly geared, and very low, at that.

on my polo bike i have some of these.
https://www.boxwoodbicyclepolo.com/bars.html
they're way skinny, like 32cm across, so climbing any type of hill can get kinda sketchy. i have yet to try then on a non-mtb setup, but i guess someone could. i think they maybee a bit too thick in the clamp area though

It's a collector's bike. It probably is still overpriced, but stuff like that sells for a$s-tons of money.
