Modern compact bars with non-OS clamp

Anyone know if there's any bars out there that are a modern compact shape (like the FSA Omega compact, about 125mm drop/80mm reach) but with a standard size clamp so they'll fit a quill stem?
 
I'm not sure about sizes, but I'm guessing you want something short reach/shallow. 3TTT used to make a touring bar called morphe which is just so. Ive got some - the tops sweep slightly back
 
Yes, short and shallow. This sort of profile:

Have you looked on Planet-X? They seem to have lots of bars on there in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
 
I'm after just that and have found stacks. Planet X for a start but am new getting sidetracked by Salsa Woodchippers :roll:
 
Have sent Planet X an email as I've got a set of their Strada compact bars with an OS clamp to see what they suggest as the nearest match.

This would suggest that a 3TTT Morphe would possibly be ok.
How annoying is it when you find a pic like this with the measurements on it but no way to make it bigger...

Would the Cineeli Vai bar work as well. I forgot the drop but the shape in profile is simalar to the 3T bar pictured above.
 
Have taken a punt on some Ritchey Logic Pros as couldnt see any Morphes for sale in uk. Will post up a pic and measurements when they arrive if anyone is interested.
 
A quick update for this thread in case anyone elase is after somethig similar. Wasn't sure on the Ritchey's so kept looking and found some Bontrager SSR VR-C bars with a 26mm clamp. These look to be ideal for what I was looking for, nice short drop and reach and only £21 inc postage from All Terrain Cycles.
