I'm waiting for the right bars to speak to me.
When you get a chance, take a look at VO's Porteur in the "road" size.

They will take bar ends. We are building a Rivendell Quickbeam for a buddy and I really like the bend/shape of the bars.

He decided to go with those, but I also like the Milan model.

Granted, the Quickbeam is a single, but the Porteur bar shape is outstanding.
