You'll probobly like bullhorns then. I ride 90% on the flats with no back pain. And my back is as whacked as your bars. lol just playing. I'd check the crank like a previous poster said it looks like a freewheel crank. IDK a helluva lot about bicycles but that seems like it would make or break your project. Are you buying wheels? I've seen people posting links to $100 wheelsets.
