Drop handle bars on a hybrid bike

[Soup890]

Is it possible to put drop handle bars on a hybrid bike?

Possible yes, but what would do with the shifters?

 

[smokeysmoo]

is your bike a fixie?

It's a SIRRUS SPORT

When you factor the cost of the parts I doubt it would make economic sense, unless you can source second hand I suppose.

Also, and IMHO it would look very odd indeed with drop bars. Now this you may be happy with, but a frakenbike wouldn't make me want to ride it I'm afraid.

Might be best to sell the Sirrus and source something more suitable IMO.

Why are you considering this anyway?

I'll second Smokeysmoo with the economic sense. I think the Sirrus has v-brakes (and multiple gears, not a single speed), so STI shifters won't be compatible (STI shifters have short pull for brakes, though you could use travel agents, but again, more expense and more questions on functionality even so). Even if you don't do STIs, you'll still need: handlebars, tape, cables, shifters/brake levers, possibly new stem, possibly new front derailleur. Add in even more for labour if you aren't comfortable mechanicking that lot and it will really add up!!!

However, if you want a bike with STI, it may still end up being cheaper than buying a new one. And personally, I don't care too much about what the bike looks like so long as it fulfills a function. So to answer your question: yes, absolutely. But it will cost you and you'll have to work out if you are willing to accept that cost.

I phoned a couple of bike shops looking to convert my sirrus to drop bars and all of them said sell it and use the money you get plus the money you'd spend on converting it to buy a purpose built bike. Best advice ever.
