Have you heard of riser drop handlebars? I've seen the specialised hover but they're out of stock, and I can't find any other manufacturer who does a similar thing that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Is anyone aware of such a thing?
Just get a deeper drop bar and mount it higher.
The specialized hover is what came to my mind too (only discovered them after I built my bike, but didn't need them, in the end)
Give these guys a ring, to see what stock they have...
Can't you achieve the same effect with the right stem?
Don't you run the risk of looking utterly ridiculous with those bars though?

You ride a bike. To a swathe of (UK) society this puts you beyond 'ridiculous'.
Fashion is a fool.
I tried that but I don't like the look of the high rise stem. I will keep looking.
Initially created for aero no?
Odd concept otherwise to me...Each to their own of course

They are horrific tbh but sometimes just a necessary evil
Got to admit I'm interested too, but purely from a form over function point of view, in my head they would look better than an extra 15mm of spacers or a more angled stem.
Need to go tyre kicking in some bike shops to see them in the flesh I think 8)
Not much chance

Everywhere looks out of stock, at least in the 44. You could probably find a narrower version.
Not sure if anyone is interested but I tracked one of the alloy versions in size 44 at hargrove cycles.
