The Revolt is an amazing bike and it's decently equipped. I wouldn't change a thing. I presume you have the 2020 version that came equipped with 11 speed 105?

The problem with doing a conversion is the cost of shifters, bars, derailleurs, stem, cables, housings, handgrips, etc...If you don't already have that stuff, the cost will end up being similar enough in cost to a new bike that you might as well just go buy a new bike. Even if you do the work yourself. It'll still be a gamble if it rides decent in the new configuration

Do you have a brake bleed kit?

My vote is to just buy a hybrid. The bike market has tanked since the pandemic. You can get a whole new bike for a pretty reasonable price and your local bike shop will love you for it.

A brand new Escape disc will set you back a mere $600 and come with none of the hassle, cost and unknowns of converting a perfectly complete and amazing bike.
