I'd guess there's good reasons for yours staying that way for 5 years.
It looks more comfortable than super wides.

yeah I love it, it's super comfy but as @MisterMikkel says it's got tricky handling when loaded up.
I think i'm going to do something similar with a shorted stem and risers.
I do the shopping on it and it's not easy to ride back home afterwards!

I'm sure it's probably been said before, but that's a massive amount of front-loading, especially for a frame that's not been designed with that in mind. Surely by this point, spreading the load between a front and rear rack is going to have more impact on handling than a short stem and wide bars?
