Not too sure how long it will stay like this. I picked these handlebars out eight years ago when I was much more interested/able to ride in a lower posture. Nowadays I only touch the drops if there is a severe headwind (or, since they are flared outwards for leverage, if I find myself in deep gravel).

I'm looking at replacing them with these, which would put me much more upright. If I do that, I'll probably also throw this stem on there, which would shove the bars up above saddle height.

Ergonomically, it'd be a great change. Not as pretty of a setup though. That would have really bothered me a few years ago. Now, not so much.
