from all my experience reading the internet where people have done it, they spend a lot of time and/or money trying to get the goddamn thing to work only to find out that it doesn't ride very well, isn't comfortable, doesn't work well or a great combination of all three

drop bar MTBs are bad, because
the handling is fucked up unless the frame is specifically designed for drop bars
you cant use a dropper which is one of the only good modern MTB inventions
you cant use hydro disc brakes easily, ditto
shifting is a pain
they look ugly as sin, almost without exceptionjust get some flat bars you like. on one rips off every type under the sun for £30 or less. if it's good enough for the forum racers and razzer it's good enough for everyone.

Thanks all for the answers. I'm learning. Mtb is all new to me. @platypus what's your objection to drop bar MTB? Or are you saying it's just too much hassle in my case?
