In the decade prior to that, I rode a road bicycle that was too big for me (a gift), but which I set up to fit me as best I could. I would guess that I probably had my handlebars set up much like I've got them now ... I'd have to dig out some old photos to see.
So it's possible I've been riding like that for the past 22 years.
I don't remember how my bars were positioned in the early 1960s.
