These narrow 80's bars were killing me.
AFAIK, that stem isn't what is usually meant by "death stem".

If the bar is too narrow, meaning width lever to lever, then you can replace it with a wider bar without going all modern. IMHO that bike would look better with period-correct components, but it's your bike.
