Flat bar Giant Anyroad 1 possible?
I have a 2020 Giant Anyroad 1 and the “racing” handle bars relative to the seat are very high puts you in a semi upright position. I actually really like this however would the geometry of the bike allow me to put quality flat handlebars with horns on? Assuming shifter would be replaced as well! Thank you

I meant to add pictures but I think that’s only me 2nd or 3rd post. So it doesn’t allow me to post pictures until I’ve posted 10 times

And I found this, as a flat bar gravel bike would be my n = 1 setup
So will share a few links

Two articles I liked
https://www.cyclingabout.com/best-fl...vel-bikes-2021
https://www.cyclingabout.com/best-to...at-handlebars/
Interesting statement in them though "Best practice flat bar gravel geometry is not the same as drop bar gravel geometry."
To be fair, I barely push my bikes to the limit so not sure how much it'd matter to me.
My Soma Double Cross is a CX bike but I've got riser bars on it and love it.
