If you are looking for a flat Easton straight bar, longer stem 120mm, Shimano BL-R550 brake levers and Ergon grips, I have some extra's I can sell you cheap. I live in Toronto, so not far from you. All you would need is some shifters. I have experienced trying to purchase bike parts in this city during the pandemic and it can be difficult.

What I like about conversions is, if you dislike it you can always change everything back.
blakcloud...when you say you have "extras I can sell you cheap", what do you mean by cheap
I'm having a heck of a time sourcing compatible shifters without having to change/swap other components to make it all work. Even trying to find new cables and housing is a challenge. Perhaps I can check with MEC.

BTW....I'm in the Bathurst/Steeles area so close by.
