Not quite a M-Bar but the Nitto Randonneer drop bar is a 25.4 MTB diameter. It is a drop bar with a very shallow drop and flaring ends so that your wrist can rest agains the ramp of of the bar while in the drops. They also come back towards you on top like the Noodle bar. Because they are a 25.4

I use Tektro RX4.1 reverse brake levers on my (deliberately upside down) Moustache bars on my Quickbeam. I love the setup and it works very well. I use it mainly for commuting and having the bars upside down raises them and makes it easier to cycle in traffic. Here's the bars http://bit.ly/98Mh8L
