Just about every brand's models in the last ten years. This is because they have ugly, black bulges where elegant and understated simplicity should be at-works.
I am not saying I would not ride a bike with brifters, but I would immediately come at them with a Sawz-All, and make a diagonal cut so that the levers are removed and about half of the body. There. That oughta do it for the time-being. Meanwhile, I'll order a set of these to replace them, and nervously await their arrival:
