Who knows, but I just needed some advice on the conversion and had no idea I'd be told what would be more comfortable to me. Thanks to Cal for the advice "It's a straightforward process if you choose the Shimano SL-RS700 (RapidFire Plus, 11-speed) shifters which match to your 11 speed road components. You'll need short pull brake levers to match your calipers. The handlebar will be new but you may be able to recycle your stem, most likely by inverting it." That is exactly what I was looking for. Heading down to my LBS on Monday for a quote. I get free labor so it's a nice parts only deal.
