The Choco bars look cool...
you like drops (me too) and are scared of being impaled (me too)
I’d save the Chocos for a city/town bike and put some 54cm wide parallel drops with long hood levers on a short-length+tall stem for my Hillibike (if mine didn’t already have some perfectly fine Bullmoose bars).
regarding undersize/oversize frames... that’s on you.
I sorta like long frames for the no-toe-overlap, but am happy to compromise that for the flickability of small frames with long+tall stems and a qr & hiterite on the seatpost and it’s high setting a bit on the low side.
