That started off as a joke but is that possible? That would be ridic. Even the snobbiest and and passive of cyclists would have to comment at every sighting.
Sure. Get one of those dirt cheap department store "road bikes" with a split drop bar. Remove bar, discard the rest. Put bar on own bike. Put a MTB hydro brake lever where you'd find an interrupter brake. You might need to ream the clamp out a bit. Then mount your brifter(might need shimming) and continue as usual.
