Welcome to the drops suck club. LOL Unfortunately it won't be cheap converting.
I love my 70d sweptback bars from the 1970s. They are 48 to 52 cm wide, I like 50 cm the best.
I've been raising it lately. ZERO neck/ back/ knee pains on my last tour.
You likely need one with 60 mm + rise too.
Jones and butterfly bars are wider, bulkier and clumsier IMO.
