If you like brifters but want a drop bar with a lot of flare, there are other bars out there, like the dirt drop. Randonneur bars also have some flare, but not nearly as much as the dirt drop style. Velo-Orange has a couple of bars that might work for you also. They have a couple of cruiser style bars that are 23.8 and accept bar end shifters.
