Yeah, the seat angle and the unwrapped bars give me the willys. With that angle, you're going to be putting way too much weight forward on your hands and shoulders and neck. And with no bartape, in the hot weather it's going to get slippery.

I'd get a setback post and/or a longer stem. Either one can be had on eBay or your LBS.

You also might want to get some chrome barend plugs so you don't punch holes in your walls.

Nice conversion. Glad to see no braze-ons were removed. You might want to post pics HERE
