Thanks @TM could be a fun city bike with slicks. How hard would it be to change brake levers to run risers?

There's one on Gumtree for £450. BNIB. I don't know what size you need - it's 54cm

it would probably be easier to just buy a whole new set of brakes (calipers and leaver) and then keep/flog the drop bar set up
MTB discs have been around so long now you could pick up a set of SLXs or something for not a lot of cash
-
Easy, just make sure you get "flat bar" levers rather than MTB V Brake levers, else the cable pull is off and your brakes won't work very well.

Makes no sense to buy and switch to risers. Just buy a different bike. (Unless you take the brakes straight off and sell, probably get £150 a pair on ere?

Those brakes are great, alu forks can be a bit rigid/harsh but bigger tyres should take the edge off and you could always upgrade to carbons or steel in the future.
