Fair point about fitting. I need one myself, whenever it becomes possible. Have you considered a

I don't know the Rivendell reference. I am just getting into the road bike side. The only other two decent bikes I have owned are a GT LTS4000 from the late 90s (loved that bike) and a Kona Roast.
This is my current setup. Can't find the stem it came with but was a fair bit longer and I think was around 5° rise.
I don't remember what this one is but I think 13° rings a bell. I am getting more comfortable with the position almost every time I ride. But I think my next bike I want some flared compact drop bars.
As far as recumbents, I have considered them. But I am going to start clear because of visibility (both me seeing around parked cars and fences and cars seeing me) I am going to pass for now.
