Handlebars for a Lenton?

So, in the midst of "paring down" my assortment of bikes, I've taken a step backwards and bought a '49 Lenton. It needs a lot of work--hub restored or replaced, brake levers are mismatched and pretty much shot, new saddle--but first things first. The handlebars look as if they were replaced early on with some very wide, almost cruiser style bars--nice old grips but otherwise horrible. Any thoughts on what to replace them with? I do not want drop bars on this bike, just comfortable, fairly Spartan North Road type bars--should I just be on the lookout for something off a nice old Raleigh Sports and maybe flip them?
