Yeah, I rode a good few years with a stupid stem on a too-long frame so you're not the only one.
There's probably some super shallow bars you could get that might be even better. I know some of the women's bikes from Spesh have very shallow bars and short stems. If you can find similar aftermarket you'd be laughing.

Need to play with this also, as 2cm less stem doesn't = 2cm less reach http://yojimg.net/bike/web_tools/stem.php
I'm stretched out causing hand pain and rolling shoulders. Should have had a proper bike fit instead of using size guides! Will have a look at those drop bars, don't mind spending a little bit of money to get through Winter on it.
