I had hoped to use a dirt drop handlebar, but they don't seem to be made anymore. I might try a Nitto Moustache bar.
That's exactly what I did after scoring a brand new early 90's steel mtb frame on Ebay, larger than my normal mtb frame size.
As a matter of fact, I'm in the process of re-installing my old set of dirt drop bars on this bike. These moustache bars weren't quite comfortable for me on my last short tour I took a couple weeks ago.
