Types of Handlebars
I'm looking for a comprehensive list of types of handlebars. I'd like some type of checklist. I've got:
-normal road drop bars (bunch from 70s-00s)
-bullhorns
-moustache
-straight mtn
-riser mtn
-bmx
-super high rise bars (not sure exactly what to call them...they're from a Raleigh 20)
There's gotta be some other ones.

There are drop bars for mt. bikes also, like On One Midge. https://www.bikeman.com/BTI-ON5137.ht...ign=GoogleBase
Some people (me included) use them on touring bikes. Definitely an unusual shape.

in flared drops there is a variety, from the midge,
the Origin-8 Gary bar (it's wider and flatter)
and the WTB moutain bar, which is more drop bar than the others
And then there are those handlebars which have fallen out of favor,
such as these lauterwasser bars,
The list goes on,
