If you mean flare instead of flair <https://curiouserandcuriouserdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/flair-3.jpeg> ....
;-) Nitto B132/135 Randonneur bars may be what you're looking for. The B132 and B135 have curvy tops like the noodle, but more flare through the drops. The B132 has more reach (longer flats behind the hoods) and the B135 has shorter reach. I prefer the B135 (long top tube frame), and I find it has plenty of space behind the hoods. The corners, flats, and hoods are three distinct positions. I use the B132 with the Tektro TRP RRL bars on my KOM (1 <http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Gavin/media/KOM/IMG_00601_zpsddqpqsoj.jpg.html>, 2 <http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Gavin/media/KOM/IMG_0016_zpsbj2e8zon.jpg.html>, 3 <http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Gavin/media/KOM/IMG_0017_zps20gf1zda.jpg.html>) and my Riv <http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Tim_Gavin/media/Rivendell/IMG_00411_zpscyqwe3pe.jpg.html> . This bikeforums post <http://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/694117-nitto-randonneur-bars-differences.html#post12952522> has a great depiction of the B132, B135, and B177 Noodle. Pro: the B132/135 are usually cheaper than the Noodle bars. Con: they're available in fewer widths. I'm happy with the 42 cm width B135s (42 at the hoods, wider at the ends after the flare).
