Re: road bike to street bike
You need Flat Bars, a 25.4mm stem, and some flat bar shifters, from shimano, any LBS can advise on the part no..

I took a mountain bike handlebar and brake levers and mounted them on my stock stem. I am using stem index shifters though. Trigger shifters and some 30 'cross tires are next on my list. |

Re: road bike to street bike
A flat bar? Bah! Bullhorns with bar end shifters and aero brake levers.
You could just swap your stem for a more upright one and add CX brake levers to the tops. |

Re: road bike to street bike
Any shop that sells Shimano can get these: http://www.pro-bikegear.nl/2006/ I am thinking about Bullhorns for one of my bikes.
