You might take a look at ...

Nitto Noodle bars. I used to ride Cinelli 66s -- great big drops. The Nittos have a smaller drop, and the bars are configured to have long ramps behind the brake hoods, where my hands seem to like to spend the most time.

Flat or mtn. bars just don't work for me. Think about how your hands naturally hang at your sides. Palms aft? or facing into your thighs? That's what you want to look for. Bar-ends are a solution to an unnecessary problem. Ditch the mtn. bars.

If I hadn't given my mtn. bike away, I'd have drop bars on it by now.
