Alan, it certainly seems Riv has moved mostly to flat bars, I tried a set of North Road (typical older 3 speed bars) on a commuter and didn’t like them,I never felt very secure on descents, still much prefer drops. I have 48 noodles on my bikes, I’m 66 and not especially flexible, bars and saddle are level. Steve Plymouth, New Hampshire
