There's no way I'd run a B67 on anything where I wasn't pretty much bolt upright with rise from the saddle to the bars and swept back bars... which is exactly none of my bikes right now.

YMMV, but the B67 at 205mm just seems too wide for the application you're describing. I'd go for the standard B17 or the Flyer.
Maybe even a B-17 narrow and an imperial cut would be appropriate.
