bar problem

[elk]

So...The Volpe came; Mr elk LOVES it...Now... After he took the drop bars and flipped them upside down so it looks like an antelope. The brifters are in the same position only higher...so he has hoods and the bar and and the space before the levers which curves down towards him.

I got him an adjustable stem w/the bike and he has that angled as high as it can go...but it wasn't enough. His seat, at the right height, is just above the bars. And at the right fore/aft was too far away from the bars for him.

He just wants to sit up higher...I'm not sure I like the aerodnamics of his solution...and think we can find a safer way...until he's ready to try the drop bars.

So. Available Materials, Possible Solutions. Oh....and he wants to KEEP the brifters. A google search revealed that moustache bars and brifters have worked together well.

get a new stem?
get a new headset?
get different bars? what kind? moustache?
