Thanks for the replies. Looks like I've either got to stick with the current setup (don't see myself liking the flat bars), flip the bike, or upgrade it. I just don't know when I would bump into a nice frame like this in my size again, so I'm hesitant to let it go. I could build it up with new BB, double crank, 9 speed brifters, chain, derailleurs for about $250 if I source most of my parts through Nashbar (20% off today means I could get the brifters for under $100) and use the stuff I already have on hand (wheelset, handlebar). It would be kind of a shame to not use the wheels that came on the bike, since they're pretty nice and probably would last forever. What to do...
