A picture of my Trekking bar fitted bike is Hosted Here:

since then, I've rotated the bars flatter, since I'm using open palm relaxed
hands, 'grip' on the sides, more..
just short of a BB7 conversion , but I have found the Magura Rim Brakes the Best of Type.
so a slow change.. [an even older bike wears the studded tires, at the ready]
[since the Bike Friday with them fitted gets more use,
Its functionally, a step thru frame, it's easier to get on/off
