The problem is the stem/reach isn't it? You'd paradoxically need a longer stem on flat bars no?
You can get cable decouplers for your brakes (SJS have some), they're designed for tandems/S&S/Breakaway/whatever frames, then you shouldn't need to reroute the cables.
I wanted to do the same on my road bike to switch between TT/road cockpit.
How's it a problem? I probably wouldn't mind being a bit more upright (using the same stem) when moving to flatbars but it's as easy to swap stem and bars as it is to swap just bars
I hadn't thought of the tandem cable decouplers, thanks!
