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.
That's known as a "randonneur" bend. There used to be several companies that offered them, e.g. Nitto, Sakae Ringyo, Gerry Burgess, Phillipe, etc. Currently, Nitto offers several models with that bend, the B-132, B-135, and B-136, and Compass has a randonneur bend bar in two different diameters, if you have a modern 31.8mm stem clamp.
