OTOH, it might just be too small! Very good looking bike though.
I actually needed a shallow drop but long reach, that 123 has a 170 drop, so I went with the Nitto B135AA-SSB Randonneur bar, they have a 120 drop and 105 reach (and the bottoms flare out so the top section is 6cm narrower than the bottom). Figured this is good to get me by for a while until I can find a better option with shallow drop, and was thankful they're not expensive!

With a 150mm stem and this much reach, my bars are a good bit past the front axle, not ideal. I'm not in any rush to buy another frame, this should get me by fine for a couple of years. Has to, kids are going to college.
