Thanks!

I wish I had a better before shot of where the bars were in relation to the seat, they were basically even. Now the hoods are below the seat, and I should probably nudge the seat up a little more still.

I wasn't trying to fight the original geometry as it was very comfortable, so I tried to place the hoods in the same position as the old flats. They are a little lower and further out than before, but still close. As a hybrid, it already has a long top tube, so the overall reach is similar to that of a relaxed road bike. My gripe with the way things were with just flats, was that hand comfort wasn't good for anything longer than 5 miles or so. My commute is 9 miles each way, and at the end, my hands would be numb.

The bike is very comfortable right now in all positions and that's really all I could ask for. I rode about 27 miles last weekend and I didn't have any hand numbness. The drops also provide a nice stretch when starting to feel fatigued, so I probably spend more time there than on the flats. Obviously, the hoods are where I am the majority of the time.
