Those look pretty similar in shape to the Bontrager FIT to me.

I have Specialized Dolce Ergo Alloy bar (38cm) in my bike. They come with the 31.8mm clamp you look for. I bought them right off the Specialized web site. They seem to run out of stock quite frequently (I just looked), so keep watching them -- if my experience provides any guidance, they restock within 1-2 weeks.
They have a 132mm drop (the Poco has 140mm) and 75mm reach (the Poco has 70mm). Unlike the picture on the Specialized site, they came to in matte black, not silver.

Hey all!
I think my handlebar search is finally over! In wondering around a LBS tonight, I came across a bar I had not before considered, the Bontrager Race Lite OS in a VR bend. The shape was super comfy (smooth transiton area from hoods to drops) despite its slightly deeper drop and reach numbers. This bar is almost as light as the carbon FSA's I am replacing, and much more affordable than the carbon bars that had been on my short list. For anyone interested, I think you can see these bars on many models of LeMond and Trek bikes. Thanks for all of the suggestions and advice!
