Yes. I will check the brand. I saw some at the local bike shop and they had screw in end caps to stash stuff in. Only about 16" or so wide.

The cheapest (and personally IMO best) option is to take your current drop bars (especially if you like the width) and flip them over. Then you just cut/saw them off to your desired length, and there you have it, custom bullhorns of desired length. If you chose this option, I recommend using some bar end plugs, the edges tend to be sharp.

Do you have track drops? I haven't seen road drops with the kind of reach some track drops have.

It's a good idea, also the setup I ride. Allows me to use ergo grips too.

nitto makes a 34cm bullhorn. you'll need a shim but that's not really a big deal.
