Which flat bar levers and brakes will be compatible with the existing callipers and mechs?
https://productinfo.shimano.com/en/compatibility is your friend, but a slightly awkward one.
SL-RS700 shifters and BL-R780 levers seems to be the approved combo for flatbarring a bike otherwise equipped with 5800

I'm thinking of converting my partners bike from drops to flats - it currently has 105 5800 with mechanical disc brakes.
Which flat bar levers and brakes will be compatible with the existing callipers and mechs?
Are there any other considerations I might be overlooking?
The geometry is: Seat Tube C-T 54cm / Top Tube 56.5cm / Head Tube 15.8cm
