Steeper track drops?

I'm getting rid of my B-123's in favor of something with a steeper bend - that is, a bar that starts to curve at or around the clamp. I never ride on the flats, and I love the look of steep, deep curves. An google search yeilds nothing. Any suggestions?

I've been looking at the major taylors. They look sexy as hell.

EDIT: wait, it's the Walkers I've been eyeing. They are nice.

i thought about picking up a set once, but they drop off right where i like to rest my hands. when tucked in and pulling a hill though, they would be perfect. i always hit my forearms when pumping real hard. i'm sure it's a combination of bad form and my current bars.

they sure as **** look sexy though.
