I bought the bike this way from Peter Reich at Design Mobility last year. He cut them off a stock frame and smoothed them out for me, probably with a grinder or dremel tool. It's not perfect; if I look closely, I can see where the posts were. But it's still pretty good.
The brakes are Tektro 559's. I had to replace the stock pads because they barely slowed the bike. After I put Kool Stops on, I almost went over the handlebars testing them out, they're that much better.
Let me know if you'd like the rest of the parts list.
