Thanks for all of the advice! I think I'm going to start out with the Nashbar Trekking bars and a stem with a nice rise to it. As for tires, I'm going with the Kenda Kwick Roller Sport with "iron cloak" flat protection in a 1.25" width. I'll post pics as I start the conversion!

Edit/Update: For a few $$ more, I ended up ordering similar bars from Harris Cyclery. They look the same as the Nashbar ones except they're silver, and not being sold by the Wal-Mart of online stores
I'm glad of that. I didn't know Harris carried them. If money is a consideration, switching handlebars was one of the easier things I did (with guidance from a friendly bike shop mechanic).

Will you put wrap on your handlebars? That made it a lot more comfortable. I got foam wrap, which is cheap, but I've already had to replace it once, so I've probably spent as much as if I'd gotten leather to start with. On the other hand, the colors are cooler.
