Special brake levers?
 
I have a commuter with a flat bar setup right now. It has hydraulic brakes. Is there any brake levers out there that work with a drop style bar? I want to move to a more road like setup. I am using bar end shifters for the shifting

There are cable lever to hydraulic disc conversion units this year.. not cheap.
but they are able to be used with road levers..

Trekking bars Will use MTB hydraulic brakes ... as is..
I have Magura HS33 on one bike, they are the hydraulic rim brake..
They discontinued the HS77 road master cylinder/lever decade+ ago.

taking off the hydraulic disc caliper + lever, and going with Avid BB7 road disc mechanical brakes
may be simpler
and the cheaper method to gain road bars and disc brakes.

+1 to cable road/CX disc conversion ---the hayes CX 5 is a viable option as well.
