Folks, thanks for taking the time to respond. I appreciate all of your ideas and wish I had the cash to try them all!
The Jones Loop is such a great-looking and seemingly versatile bar, so I'm considering a threadless stem adapter, like the VO one, and going that route, especially since I know I'd probably love them on my future Troll or similar mtb. Hugh--I don't think I'd go so far as to get another fork for this bike since it's just a stop-gap, but we'll see. The Surly Open Bar also looks very promising and comfortable, and I wouldn't have any trouble getting it high enough. Patrick--I tried some moustache bars with a dirt drop stem and I didn't like them for the same reason I took them off my Sam: I don't like the positioning of the brakes. I feel too splayed out. It's weird, though, because I figured they'd be more comfortable on a smaller bike. I guess they're just not for me. RJM and Chris--I have a flat bar lying around and might be able to scrounge up a standard mtb bar. I'll give them a shot. Robert--That trekking bar is really cool. I don't think I'd like to have to reach for the brakes/shifters past the end of the stem, though. I think I want some sweep. Thanks again, all.
