How about drop bars in the city ?

ChrisNW You're going to hate me for this because they're so ugly, but I've got a silver set of these on my MTB at the mo'.
They're actually quite comfortable if you tilt them down at the front about 25-30degrees. It's like riding with two flat bars and bar ends.
Probably too wide for riding in traffic a lot, but you get awesome leverage for on the hills...

They ate ugly, look kind of like the type of thing you would put on a touring bike where asthetics goes out of the window and it is all about particality and comfort. Don't get me wrong if it works well for you cool.
