Default EZ Rider handlebars for the bike with pink bits

Well, the black Specialized Extra-Small Sirrus bike that I put the pink
bits on (pink seat, pink bottle cage, pink bottle, pink toolbag, pink
bell, and pink streamers) was a hit with my wife for her birthday.

She loves riding it, and would like a little more of "cruiser bike"
feel, with some rise and backsweep to the handlebars (the bike presently
has flat bars). Nashbar has bars of the right shape ( their P/N NS-ERB
), but there is a diameter problem. The bike's bars are fat in the
middle and skinnier at the ends. Specifically, they have a clamp
diameter of 25mm (same as the Nashbar bars), but the bike's Easy Fire
shifters and grips (with pink streamers) want 22mm diameter.

Does anyone know of an easy-rider type riser handlebar with fat middle
and skinny ends?

Rivendell has the Nitto Albatross, which should fit the bill.
