I got a viable stem for the task already, but I'd still need to buy the handlebars, tape, brake levers and cables, and this month I won't be able to afford those probably.
Although I recently got a call from my insurance lawyer that money should arrive this month (got ran over last April, car jumped the red light with about 50 mph, I was the luckiest fuck in the world that I didn't die or got seriously injured then). If I get paid I'll probably do the conversion.

Compact drops will require a new stem I imagine. If not for the clamp then to maintain enough reach.
An alternative (and still a comfortable handlebar over distance) would be a swept mtb bar like the On One Fleegle. They’re still decent off road and there’s a 25.4mm version.
