Good ol' Pineapple Bob. I could get aero on M bars too, but set low and forward, not high and rearward. But they hurt my hands no matter how placed -- tried them half a dozen times over the years on and off road. Like the concept but don't like the feel, alas.
I used to use North Road type bars, but flipped and angled; also aero but, again, hurt my hands. You can get aero on just about any bar; even one the bar of a Flying Pigeon with stem and bar cast in one piece and no extension (rod brakes) and short tt, but you will be in a rather awkard position on this last wrt weight distribution, and *certainly* hunched over! (I rode a Hero for several years as a boy.)
