Let me understand what did you achive?
How often you use the drop bar in lowest position?
I bet you tried couple of times and did not like it.
If this is true then it could be much easier way to lower your position and get a road bike feel - $15 adaptor for threaded fork to accept regular stem (you 've done it anyway), $15 dollars stem (long and straight put it in negative angle). and $10 bar ends if you do not like yours.
It may work for anybody who is trying to feel like a sportsman on hybrid bike.
