Okay I'm sold on narrow top, flared drop, "hood" type mass start bars, but with a little bit of an extension off the hood bit. I have 37 sprint type bars now, want something a bit narrower, maybe 35.

Many riders on them in this clip of the Men's Omnium in Milton:

I spent a LOT of time last night Googling bars and such, but not sure what else is out there. Any thoughts on bars that work?

Here's the kicker. If I can get a similar bar for my road bike, I will. I prefer aluminum, and aero is less important (like the flat top bit, which will be super short/narrow due to the narrow hood width). Currently I'm riding a 38 on the road and it feels like steering a bus. The Worx aluminum bar seemed to be the one that would work but they seem to be out of stock, except one place that says no international orders on that piece.
