Getting a drop handlebar for a hybrid can be quite expensive (>$100) because you have to replace the shifters, brake levers, cables, etc... as well. The price of a cheap hybrid plus a drop handlebar almost equals that of an entry-level road bike like the Fuji Ace, which is quite good for commuting.
