Got to admit, from an esthetics standpoint, the bike looks a lot better with no rise... just like it was meant to be. I have no issue with that, on the contrary the curvy wide handlebars make it more comfortable. I happen to ride road also and have other more comfortable bikes in my stable. Just when you have a favorite in your collection, you aim to optimize it the most.
