Go to a shop and test ride a modern bike. The thinking around geometry has changed radically in the past few years. Bikes from the 1990s typically have short top tubes, long stems, and big saddle-to-bar drops, all making for a fantastic over-the-bar experience . Try a couple of newer bikes at a shop. See what you think. Also, a shop can help you sort out your bars and other fit issues. There's nothing wrong with an older bike per se, but it's no fun riding a bike that doesn't fit comfortably.
