First make sure the bike is big enough now after you probably grew 2 inches since you were 16. One inch standover is plenty. Then it needs a bar with curl back grips and chuck the HORRIBLE broom handle bar. So then you can lean or not and the seat position will matter less. But raise the bar anyway. Look for old parts at the local bike co-op.
