Actually changing between Grip Shift and brifters (flat bar ones) is done all the time at many shops as a repair or new bike swap out. We do a number a year. First you need to understand which shifting family the bike uses (Shimano VS SRAM) then which brake lever cable pull ratio (linear pull/disk or canti/caliper). Then get the proper new parts that match and a set og grips and do the job right the first time. If you don't understand this then go to the LBS you trust to have them either sell you the correct parts and/or also do the install. This is a simple swap out for any one experienced. Andy.
