>>1236426Yeah, the bars & hood positioning look pretty old school. Here's a picture of my set up, I'm a fan of a modern compact handlebar with the hoods sitting pretty much parallel with the tops of the bar.
I'd definitely recommend you try out a modern compact handlebar, a basic aluminum one shouldn't cost much, and try setting it up so that the hoods and tops are parallel instead of the downward slope to the hoods that you have there at the moment.
