That is a really inexpensive and nice upgrade to flat bars.

I did this. It ended up costing me around $75 all told, though, because I had to get new shifters (my gripshifts didn't fit on the new bars with the ergo grips I had and wanted to keep using). But if you don't need to get new shifters you can do it for around $25.
