ISO: bullhorns w/ short reach
I’m looking for a set of bullhorns with a fairly short reach. Doesn’t need to be pursuit style. Would like to be able to put in bar end brakes.
Looking for 26.0 stem clamp.
I used to have both the Origin8 bullhorn and the pursuit bars. The pursuit ones were pretty alright. The standard bullhorns were a really long reach after the bend. I’d prefer this style but with a much much shorter reach - basically where it starts the horn upturn right after the bend. If that makes sense...
Thanks!

You could always flop and chop a pair of drop handlebars. It's not as nice looking, but still gives the same positioning as a bullhorn, albeit with shorter reach.

Additional note: silver/stainless color, and it’s going on my current SS most of you have prob seen - blue mid 80s Raleigh classic frame. So it needs to fit that look.

If you don't mind a very slight semi-pusuit-ish drop from the stem...Nitto RB002 could be close to ideal for you and they are not very expensive either. You just have to be careful about trying to shove bar-end levers with long inserts in them 'cos their short horn combined with the short turn-up at the ends gets kinda crowded. I found some aero brake levers that fit over the outside of my barends that have treated me good for quite a few years.
Have fun - good luck...

They're kind of narrow, but definitely appear to qualify as short reach:
