Old-school track bars?
 
I'm looking to build an old-timey looking bike with slack geometry, 27 inch wheels, and bars that look a lot like upside-down cruiser bars. Does anybody know of any that might look a bit like these?:

The bars I have found don't have enough bend to really get a good grip angle while still having some drop like seen in the picture.

This is the closest thing I have found:

Something with more sweep than these would be ideal, I think.

Dude,

I just bought the exact one on the picture. Sorta like a mustache but drops more. The end-to-end is like 530mm and slightly too wide for a drop and the roof is a bit too small for hands. ... Kinda bumed out that it turned out quite unusable for me. I swapped out for a Nitto Roadie the next day.

I think you are supposed to use a break lever like that. The drop is good, but other positions are not good for putting weight on. So skiddings are out unless you can do them on the drops here.

It's real shame that riding on the drop part is real comfy.

Slack geometry, 27 inch wheels, and some flipped cruiser bars...
