Masonchat.....don't do it! You have a nice flat-bar bike that's set up as one......and You love it
If you think you want drops get a used bike to test the waters. It could be a costly conversion to find out your Fastroad isn't suitable for drops.
I recently converted a Giant roadbike that I've had since 2001 from drops to flat-bar and my 63yo back has thanked me every ride since.....
