There is this courier in Chicago who has the craziest bar setup I have ever seen. He has a very short, like 6" long piece of bar material attached to the stem like a very very short flat bar. On the ends of that are bar end extenders pointing down and forwards and then on the ends of those he has another set of bar ends pointing back and down with the brake levers attached there(he rides a road bike). They are basically a very small, very narrow set of drops. his hands are only an inch or two from his front wheel.
