I'd have thought bars up a little, levers down would make a more flat transition? This bike is amazing, never gets boring to look at.

I did that initially, but the problem is that the drops end up pointing too much down. But yeah, I think I'll try tweaking the lever position before buying new stuff. Sometimes it helps to think out loud.

And thanks for the complement.

I recommend the Maes shape bar, have them on my bike, still got a bit of a ramp, but the bar itself is nice and flat.

Bear in mind it's very long, those old handlebar shape were designed to ride on the hood of the handlebar, rather than the hood of the brake levers.
