Make sure the rear uprights are wide before the rise, I'm not passing judgement on you, but speaking from experience.
When I picked the bike up the first thing I looked for was a brake bridge over the rear wheel. I was glad when I found one.

I don't mind the drop bars since I ride on the hoods most of the time. I do plan to replace the levers which will loose the the safety extentions.

I've already mounted the new Captain's saddle and the Stoker's upright bars. Despite my wide bottom, the new combination works!
