A flat bar bike generally has a longer top tube relative to the head tube than a road bike. And a conversion can be expensive because you need to buy bars and brifters and there are the installation costs. Sure you could convert it but before you go ahead, try out a drop bar bike at your LBS and see how it feels. If you still want to go ahead, see if it works for you on your Sirrus Carbon Comp. But test out an equivalent drop bar Specialized Roubaix to see if its worth it.
