[QUOTE=moonedzx9;20049555]I'm thinking of changing my commuter over to drop bars. What is a estimate of how much it will cost me? I know I will need a bar, shifters, and brake levers.

I did this to my Specialized and it didn't cost much. First, I found a handlebar that fit on craigslist for $10. Then I went on Amazon and found a set of integrated brake levers and shifters that fit on a flat bar and matched the road bike's 3x9 setup. I don't remember exactly how much they cost but it was under $50. Those components installed very easily and the brake levers worked better with the road bike brakes than the original levers. The shifters worked fine too. Oh yeah, I had to get a pair of grips. The total was under $100. I really prefer the flat bar for the kind of commuting I do on this bike. Now I have a true "hybrid" bike that weighs under 25 pounds. Good luck on your conversion.
