Cost aside the main issue with swapping drops to a flat bar is you probably need the next frame size up unless you plan to run a 90's NORBA-esque stem or the drop bar bike was too big for you to start with. I'd also wonder why you wouldn't just get a hardtail MTB at that point with some fast rolling rubber?
