Yes! I need to investigate wide-ish, none noodly slight sweep 25.4 bars... had some great steel Humperts but crimped them slightly trying to stop them slipping ):
Brake wise I've got a couple of pairs of the awful/amazing XT parallelogram Vs, the first gen and the second. Should do the trick.
Looks great, you sticking with flat bars? If so V Brakes?
