Flared drop handlbars

[pclay]

Hi, I am looking at getting some new drop bars for my Saracen Hack 2, and I quite like the look of the flared Herod bars, like the ones that come with the GT Grade. Does anyone ride flared bars, and where might I be able to get some?

Thanks

I've got Midge bars on my Kaffenback, and I really like them. I've got them set higher than you would have an ordinary drop bar, and even then I don't use the drops all that much, but the really nice thing about them is the hand position when riding on the hoods.

I got a GT Grade on Tuesday (with the flared bars), and I'm not exactly enamoured....love the bike, just not sure on the bars...
I've only ridden it about 60 miles so far, so the jury is still out, but I may well be looking to replace them with a more traditional drop in the not too distant future.
