Yeah, I think they are Kalloy. Have worked fine for me... And I think they were only 10 or 12 bucks.

Not usually a big fan of risers, but I love these. I think it's because I like the colour, I think the fat clamp diameter that tapers off looks business, and, well, the whole thing just looks clean as hell.

worth a shot,
I'm probably going to get flamed for it, but I prefer a very very slight rise flat bar on a quil stem. My bike is so comfortable I find it difficult to even test ride other peoples bikes.

to me that looks like the most un-********-comfortable handlebar setup ever.

I think they are about a 1.5inch rise, so yes - low rise.

The bars are very short for commuting though stop and go traffic and the flat bars just give me a really good feeling for control. I promise you its very comfortable too. It doesn't feel like you're not stretched out enough at all. If you're ever in Austin, Texas . . . test ride it.

Yeah, amazing how all these parts only come in black these days - makes me crazy. Black parts rarely go, imho, with vintage bikes.

Just ordered some from Nashbar 2 days ago for $15.
