Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Advice for fixing a bike up

Hey all, just bought a 2013 motobecane fantom cross outlaw a few days ago that had been wrecked.
I think I found a new fork for it, now just need handlebars and I have no idea what I should get. I'm in grad school so I do have a budget of less than 100 which seems to be reasonable for drop bars. Any advice on parts would be greatly appreciated. Down the road I would like to replace the wheels with something more sturdy as well.

Thanks.

$100 for bars or for everything? If it's been wrecked do you need brifters, deraileurs, brakes?
