I’ve been down this road with my Koga.
The short answer is, just get some flat bars you like. Tried all the types? Koga Denham for example? And then use nice levers, XTR or Avid BlackOps. Feels AMAZING
Long answer is, it’s possible to use normal road brake levers with standard (not mini) V brakes. You have to make sure the rims are very true, and take a little care setting up. I would imagine mud clearance isn’t too great either. But it works.

I like drops though. :( Miss the multiple hand positions and the aero drop position when I use it 1% of the time. Might be willing to give something like a Jones (rip off) a chance, or those Denhams you suggested (thanks for the tip).
I did really enjoy the flat bar braking and shifting though. And the control.
Just put a new 70 quid drop bar on my biek though. Sunk cost and all that...

Does anyone have experience with v-brake Travel Agents? Do they suck?
