My last commuter I bought a flat bar road bike. Wanted to try something different, not sure I like my decision, but dont hate it either.

On to the question. Has anyone converted there flat bar to a drop bar, but kept the rapid fire type shifters? I was contemplating keeping them, adding the drop bar and maybe doing drop bar brake levers with a set of inline brake levels, ala cross bikes.

I tend to like quirky, and had also contemplated swithing to Bull Horns, with TT style break levers and existing rapid fire shifters.

Thoughts, experiences?
