to convert a Trek Hybrid

I want to convert my Hybrid over to a semi roadie.

it is a Trek fx 7.3. Right now im running 28c tire

Replace triple crank with a double, shimano 105 i suppose.

get drop bar's, ritchey? or some bontrager bars. I will of course need to get rid of the MTB brake levers, and get road bike levers and brakes..unless the road levers can control the V-brake i have now, which are very good brakes.

need a new cassette, chain, front and rear derailer, probably 105 aswell.

what else would i need? or should i just forget this project and buy a road bike for under a grand.

the frame on this bike is pretty damn nice for what i paid. It's on the stiff side, but don't bother me.
