Cool ,just some tips taht might help the comfort issue making it even better.

You can loosen the brake levers and slide them up or down on the bars to your preference. Just the other day, I moved my levers upward making it easy to reach the hoods where most ride. Just cause a bike has drops doesn't mean you spend most of the time in them. I spend about 80% on the hoods. Only drop down when sprinting or cranking.

You can buy a shorter stem placing the bars closer to you, easier to reach.

You can slide your seat forward or back. Seems simple but some riders don't know this.

You can buy a seatpost that doesn't have a set back (angle on the post that holds the seat away from the handlebars) I changed it on mine making the seat more forward, easier to reach the handlebars. The seatpost with no setback is straight up and holds the rails staight up from the seatpost line without the angle back. Ask the shop if you have any questions. They will 'splain it to you.

Just some simple stuff.
