Weird "drop bars
I can't find a picture, and I'm trying to figure out what they're called. They look like drops, except the drop keeps going and each side almost connects with each other at the bottom.
I really can't think of any other way to describe them.

can someone explain the purpose of these/why they are the "best bars ever"? it seems like the extended part of the scott bars would have you in too upright of a position for racing.
