Don't expect to be able to get your flat bar controls onto a standard drop bar w/o modification.
Even if you get a 22.2 mm drop bar it's not guaranteed that you'll get the controls past the bends w/o undue force.
Why not try a pair of drop bar ends?

Install is real easy.
Will do what you ask for.
If you like it, and develop a severe allergy against the bolt-on pieces, you can research a permanent solution at your leisure.
I was not aware of the 22.2 vs 23.8 difference. Of COURSE they would make it difficult
This looks like a great fix, I'll look into those as old man winter approaches here in PA (I've got a few months of roadie bliss left). Thanks!
