That is a sharp bike!
For myself, drops and rams don't work, too much weight on the front. But, I rarely just ride o.t.r.
If it turns out the same for you, try a "mary," or "swallow," styled bar with a super short stem. Just thoughts!
Also, for my urban bike, I use s.p.d. cleats, toe clips or straps don't come out fast enough!
 
Sorry for the long reply but my stuff took so long to come.
I had to go and get a new stem from the bike shop but everything on the bike now and looking good
