When I got the bike I found the reach at the bars too short and the handling very twitchy. I ended up with a stem extender from AliExpress which works superbly well:



I highly recommend this mod; it transforms the handling and comfort of the bike. I know there’s an Andros stem extender from Tern but it was incompatible with my handlebar post.

I need to check if the 25.4 drop bar has a wide enough clamp diameter for this extender, and if so, I will have a look at swapping them in.
