Below is a pic of it with the original grips. I've had the stem and bar flipped upside down, but having the stem and bars upright has been easier on my hands.
Tires are 700x37 Continental Ride City.
You could try it with the bars tilted down like in the Wright Brothers photo. Try them set so that leaning forward and elbows bent ~15°, your wrists are straight and relaxed. As above, make sure there's little weight on your hands in that position. How much do you weigh, what tire pressure are you using? City tires are pretty bulletproof, but have stiff strong sidewalls which increase vibration transmission.
