Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Frame req? (Aero, dropped SS, high stack, short reach)

Who likes to have a handlebar like this with the frame Peter proposed ?
Drop ca. 100mm and with a rather high flare.
The concept is from Canyon (at least that is where I came across it) but with adjustable width, what I do not like due to the possible risk and instability.

But this handlebar is follwowing the same idea as the frame to have something with a different geometry instead of having a lot of offerings with identical geometry,

The requirements are contradicting because of the difference between people need’s and what they want.
I’m in need of a frame with endurance or gravel geometry too.
But I want a frame that is not as boring as the typical endurance/gravel frames.
So frames with oversized tubes and other “specialties” are welcome. Therefore a round seat tube is not my favorite.
Regarding the look I doubt that the advice to make something inspired by the Pinarello frames will work. I would prefer some more generic aero-look like the canyon aerorad or the spcycle  R065 and many others.
In addition I like to introduce the idea to make a “retro” design, for example a reincarnation of the Cannondale CAAD 3 from 1997.
And on my wish list is to bundle such a frame with handlebars with low drop (100mm) and large flair. The low drop because I’m missing the flexibility and the large flair because my shoulders are good for a 360/380 handlebar but in crosswind conditions, I like to have the option for a wider grip to have more control of wide rims (large depth)
