Try rotating the bars back towards the saddle a bit and moving the levers a bit further forward and see how you like that. It really makes the ramps and flats a lot more comfortable for me. This will also make a less abrupt transition to the hoods.
Clean build; I dig it. The skinwalls are tits on that bike.

Velo Orange makes
42-48cm randonneur bend bars.
