No, it wouldn't. I have something similar (cowbell) on my bike. I love them but it does not change anything for her. Some people just don't like drops. She had interrupter levers on her old bike.
Riding on the tops it gives her everything a flat barred bike would.
Yes, if you are talking about a 400-460cm wide flat-bar with too short of a stem. Otherwise, no it doesn't
Otherwise, why not just toss some slicks on her MTB
Because it is not even remotely close to the same thing.
Any advice on flat bar width?
Thanks.
