I was at REI yesterday. They had a Novara 24" bike with some pretty small compact drops on it.

Anyway, it might not hurt to hit up some of the local bike shops, if they carry the bikes, ask if they can get the parts.

I was browsing E-Bay, and there are quite a few 36cm drop bars of varying price.
