Hey, Just wondering would this bike work as a flat bar I know it's designed to be drop bars? Price is €450 with carrier, saddle bag and mudguards sound good? Says its in excellent condition.
Most likely it would work, depending on the components and assuming the conversion was done correctly. I don't see the benefit in making it a flat-bar bike since flat bars offer fewer hand positions than drop bars.
The tricross was displayed on the manufacturers website with additional flat bar brake levers on the drop handlebar so I guess the geometry of the bike would be suitable for use with a flat handlebar.
This could also give you the benefit of being able to use hydraulic disk brakes are the drop bar brake levers are not compatible with hydraulic systems I think.
