They're anodized (red to match the frame color) aluminum alloy. There's nothing on them to I.D. the manufacturer, and the Schwinn specs just say 'Handlebar: Alloy Track 31.8'.
This guy did some serious mods to the same size 2010 Sprint to compete in FG TT.

I wish I knew who made the bars; I really like them and have had probably a couple of dozen people ask about them.

This bar is available in 31.8 and is very similar. Might be worth checking out.
I've owned a different bar from the same manufacturer and it was good quality.

@50voltphantom, I am running a 40/21 (which is super spinny), but makes ripping around in the woods pretty fun. In retrospect, an 18 tooth freewheel might have been a better option.
@Mumonkan, I agree. I had a gold seatpost collar, but it was the wrong size. The Thomson in my parts bin fit, so I went with that (a gold collar is still likely in the future. As for the hubs, that's definitely going to have to wait a while.
I also plan to give this a run as a fixed gear on the streets, too.

It unfortunately did not involve quite as much tracklocrossing as I hoped; I'd like to get messy with this thing a little more. Still very good times, and I love this stupid bike more every time I ride it.

Yeah, ripping around in the woods (small as the area was) turned out to be more fun than I expected. I need to find more rideable trails near me now.
That said, I'm enjoying the versatility of the Work frame.

I also took my track bike on an "off-road" adventure, too. Light gravel on some well worn hiking paths.

^ that is pretty cool, especially the part with the black tires. And yeah, I like it in townie mode as well.
