>i gotta get different brakes
I'm assuming this is because you have hydraulic brakes? because if they're cable actuated you can get cheap brakes/cheap integrated brake and shifters for flat bar no problem. I'd recommend a northroads style bar. they sweep back and rise a bit. nice comfy upright bar.
there's technically no law that says you can't put your existing brifters on a non-drop bar. as long as the diameter is the same, they'll clamp on (the bar has 2 diameters: one in the center where the stem clamps it, and the rest is thinner, so match both.) the problem is the drop brifters are not designed to work with your hand if they're sideways. but maybe you won't mind?
you could also do DUI bars, lol. pic is just rotated upside down but you can also turn them left-to-right to get the ends pointing back but you also have to swap the brifters over.
