Ok guys, this might be far fetched but here's my situation. I bought a brand new Trek 8.3DS, awesome bike, rides great, it's comfortable and I have no complaints on it. I'm really getting into this cycling business and I'm starting to realize that I should have bought a pure road bike. This is my question, 1) Can I put drop bars on this bike? 2) Can I put the slim road tires on it? The tires I have now are 700X38 and if I could mount drop bars on it, will the shifters and all that just mount rite up to the new bars?

Ok, now that you understand where I'm at, what do you suggest? Just buy a road bike and try to sell mine are convert mine? Yes money is a issue here, I can't afford to just go buy a new road bike.

Guys please forgive me, I don't know the correct terms for certain parts on bikes, I'm still new to this business. Ok, start throwing ideas at me.
