Bikes: 2018 Black Mountain Cycles MCD,2017 Advocate Cycles Seldom Seen Drop Bar, 2017 Niner Jet 9 Alloy, 2015 Zukas custom road, 2003 KHS Milano Tandem, 1986 Nishiki Cadence rigid MTB, 1980ish Fuji S-12S

These are great recommendations, but I'll just throw it out there that drop bar does not equal riding "all hunched over" if properly setup. It is possible to set up drop bar bikes with the same contact points on the brake hoods as the grips of flat bar bikes. It may require a different stem than the stock setup depending on your exact fit, but is a common, easy and inexpensive change.
