This past summer I bought an '04 Specialized Sirrus Elite which comes with flat bars. I've been riding increasingly longer distances and am looking to convert to drop bars to gain more hand positions. If I swap the bars, am I going to have to change the shifters, brake levers, cables, etc? If so, how about the derailleurs? Is this bike worth upgrading or should I be thinking of trading up to a road bike? I really don't have another $500.00 bucks to spend toward a new bike so I'd prefer to work with this frame. I'm not looking to race, but want a bike that will be capable of riding 50 or 60 miles comfortably. The bike specs are at:
