Alloy Dirt drop bars

First, as an old-school steel bike guy, I have to vent that the whole black component EVERYTHING makes me crazy. I realize it's probably because it's cheaper to powdercoat than polish, but I miss the shiny stuff.

That said, I'm doing an old mountain bike (well, more of a fire trail tourer, actually) conversion and am wishing I could find some alloy (read NOT black) dirt drop bars without paying the ebay prices the old ones go for (when available, which is rare.) Anyone know of a source, or a good alloy bar which is sort of similar to a dirtdrop?
