Hybrid flatbar to Drop bars conversion for touring & other q

Hello people,

I am planning on doing my first tour soon from Calgary to Regina but I will probably first go Calgary - Banff to test my bike, any suggestions? where do you people plan your routes

is it reasonable for my first time to do it solo? What extra gear would I need apart from knowing how to fix my bike?


so I have had my bike for almost 4 months (biking season is short here in canada)

and I notice that I feel that it would be more comfortable to ride longer distances with drop bars (preferably ) or even butterfly,

now my question is if it is possible? would the change will alter the geometry of the bike?

now I will have to buy the drop bars, I was thinking on buying some of those used shimano 105 shifters but I really do not know anything about compatibility about those ? what are your thoughts about this?

I have a shimano 105 RD5800 for the rear and shimano a Tiagra R453 for the front

Yeah and also I will change those pedals

thank you
