Putting flat bars of my Defy

dashcamdanny · 2016-04-08 20:39:06

I have one of these and never really use it . http://www.kearneycycles.com/products/giant-defy-2-2015.html Its a bit sporty for nipping to the shops and i'm not out doing big ride outs. What exactly would I need to buy to make it into a hybrid temporarily .

Not something I'd personally bother with. Lots of work. New handlebars. New brake levers. New shifters.

Much simpler to sell it and buy a secondhand Giant Rapid or similar.

That said, if you're good with the mechanical stuff and fancy a project, then fire away.

I'm sure others here can give you an idea of the cost.
