Homebrew, thanks! What was the brand? I'm a carbon newbie though a tubular oldie. I went to Ebay looking for road bars and I saw a lot of really cheap carbon bars looking a lot like K-wings, but I kept thinking "these might not be any good."

The frame is a 2005, so this is not a "deep vintage" refurb.
