Nitto B123 or B125. They can be had for less than $100. Buy shims to go from 25.4 to 31.8. But, they do have newer 31.8 options now, called "SSB". The heat treated aluminum ones are as light and as strong as carbon.

I have 34cm now. Here they are on my Snyder before I got the Felt:


They were good enough for this guy before Team GB custom made theirs:



But, when narrow bars first came out and I couldn't get Scattos, I used B125 in 36cm. Same reach and drop as Scatto.
