fishboat has a point.....my conversion to flat bar cost me under $100CDN.
The bars, neck, brake levers, grips came as a package used for $50.
The micro-shifters for the front and rear changers were $45BNIB. I ended up only keeping the rear shifter paddle and removing the big crank ring & front changer.
You just have to ensure the shifters and brake levers are compatible with your existing hardware.
