Brofist for 2011 Racer.
I put track drops on mine, but ended up going back to the stock flat bar. Haven't gone over to FG on it yet, the hub is soooooooo whisper-quiet! Probably this summer I will go full-on FG with it. That Hi-Ten is horrendously heavy, but I love how it rides.

Mine is the blue nishiki in the back. Went out for a ride with my brother yesterday.
My bike is still a work inprogress. Wanna do a custom shorter fork and more aggressive bars/stem setup but this is it for now. I really enjoy riding it

You just dodged a bullet OP, had you said the bike in front is yours, you would've had a very, very, bad day here.

It looks really good, you should leave it as is. Changing to a 650C fork/wheel throws off the whole geometry of the bike and serves literally no purpose on a bike not designed for it.
