Frank, this is good news indeed!
I recently got a couple Bike Nashbar mustache bars, which are 15/16" chrome moly steel, with an eye to bending them into a Lauterwassery shape. I did the first one last weekend, using old MTB stems and, as cheater bars, the tubular steel legs from an old conference table. The technique was to mount the two stems a short distance apart, and bend them away from one another; giving me a series of ripples, one between every two places I mounted the two stems. The overall look is good... but yours looks much better.

Reason: I said a mustache shape. I meant a Lauterwassery shape. Thanks, Tom!
