I'm over 20 years younger, but .....

Nitto Albatross bars seem to make anything comfortable. They fit both barend shifters and regular MTB brake levers, not as good if you like your road levers.

The Bosco is a little insane (I tried one, but gave it to a friend) but worth looking at if you want to be really upright.

+1 on Technomic stems, especially the Tallux.

Lately RivBike.com has talked about an Albatross/Moustache hybrid they call the "Albastache," and I think it's designed for road brake levers.

I'm planning on a VO Montmarte (sp?) for a dumpster bike I don't want to spend as much on and that I think would ride nicely with a narrower bar.
