My advice is to look for, and buy, a Kalloy brand adjustable stem. While your at
it consider changing the drops to a more comfortable style. With more up right
bars on an adjustable stem you have all kinds of range to find just the sweet
spot for comfort you like.

Also, Remember that to ride for fun you won't need to shift much so down
tube shifters will be OK.

I converted all my bikes (5) to this combo as I don't bend anymore for drops
and I don't wanna be like Lance I wanna be.......comfortable. One bike has
moustash bars upside down, another bike has north star bars, etc. all on
Kalloy adustable stems.
