GLC- Would the SusanB be equivalent? How hard (time and money) was it to convert to drop?

Knott- I would prefer drop bars or something I can convert like GLC did. I don't care about being more upright, just would prefer not to have flat bars. I also would prefer it accomodate wider than road tires.

My Cannodale is a 47 cm, I think it is the smallest road frame they made last year. I was really sold on the Kona Jake until I compared it to my road bike and saw I would be stretched out and probably not able to get my leg over. I have a really short torso and long legs (if you can call a 5'2" woman's legs long).
