Nice pick-up. If I follow the rules of strait line from bottom of drops to bottom of brake levers it would put them even lower. Wondering if my handlebar angle is off? The prior user had it angled up a lot and I thought that was increasing the reach.

Previous owner setup:



the straight part of the handle bar was pointing upwards but the drops parallel to the ground.

I tilted the handlebar downwards with the straight part parallel to the ground instead :

now the straight part on the handlebar is just slightly upwards compared to the top tube. Before it was angled way up. The back/ most part of the handlebar points down going forward.
If the handlebar position is ok now, is there another rule for me to follow to get the right position? Do I just do trial and error?


Of note the neck pains were present before my fiddling with the handlebar angle
