I just went through this myself. Bought my first vintage bike, and realized how different the bars were from my modern road bike. Angling them up certainly helped, but also made the brake lever angle feel awkward and made my hands feel as though I could slip off the drops if I was holding onto the ends. Luckily the bars were also too narrow for me, so I ended up ordering a set of Nitto Rando bars. They are much flatter on top in the spots leading up to the brake hoods, and the drops are spread out a bit which I like as well. Best part is they are 25.4 so I can avoid having to buy a threadless adapter.
