If you think that's radical, you should try the aluminum Bosco bars! The reality though, in my experience, is that such flex is much less noticeable during actual use, and can actually be a very nice thing - stopping a lot of vibration from transmitting to your hands. Sitting on a stationary bike and loading the handlebars always makes the flex seem drastic.
The bars have the red "heat treated" sticker, right? If so, you should give them a good try and let us know how you feel after using them for a bit. I'm jealous - and can't wait to get some myself.
