I didn't know they existed either until I started searching around for alternatives to putting drop bars on the bike, something I didn't want to do. I think they cleared customs today and should be here by Friday. They aren't readily available in the US because the company is restructuring their operations in North America so I had to order from Germany. Seemed silly to order small parts like this from overseas but I found what I found.
I did measure where they would end up being positioned and they will be about 1" closer together than my road bike hoods/levers are. I think that'll be fine. And if not there is still some wiggle room or I could get a wider flat bar.
I'll report back with pics and impressions.
