They have a slight dip in the middle and a slight flare. I've seen them on older road bikes, but I haven't seen them online anywhere. Help?
I want a set for my SS I mentioned above with the loose headset.
Those are vintage GB randonneur bars. They come up occasionally on ebay. A few makers still offer rando bars and I've tried them all, but these are the ones you want:

Pricey, and worth every penny. Available in 25.4 or 31.8.
