Actually, those bars are right for the period, when people rode the drops more. They look like 64's, and I really like them. Try coming up a bit on the stem, if you can do so without going below the minimum insertion mark. If you can start with the bars close to level with the saddle, then you can work them down as you get more flexible. I'd actually roll the bars forward a bit, to have the drops level with the ground (and closer to you). In this era, people rode the tops more often than the hoods.

Beautiful bike. Just tweak it a bit. Maybe go 1cm forward on the saddle, but I like a more open position. You'll get used to it.

By the way, you don't have to ship the bike to Ed. I'll come and get it.
