Measuring your reach w/ the moustache bars is quite different than road drops.
To compensate I run a Nitto technomic 70mm stem w/ less drop than the 100mm Cinelli 1-A/#64 I replaced.
That being said I only extend to the hoods when riding into a headwind, elderly folk must preserve their dignity while plootering about.
