I was looking for a similar bar and almost failed. I extended my existing bar with clever bar end plugs.

Have a look at how we go on... http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/what-wide-bar-with-big-sweep

I just bought a set of [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/HB3TCSI/3ttt_inglese_cruiser_northroad_handlebar_nos ]these[/url] for my hub geared SS to give it the summer cruiser look.

They sort of fit your description IHN.

Could you not achieve the same hand position by using a stem with more rise and a 'normal' bar with lots of sweep?

I could, but my stems pretty risey anyway.

A combination of gangly legs and dicky knee means my saddle's pretty high...

No, that photo's about five years old. I started building it into a RTB but then decided it needed to turn back into a SS on account of the horizontal drop outs....
