I sold my flat bar road/hybrid bike (Specialized Vita) to my good friend when I got my real road bike (Specialized Ruby). Then she put really high cruiser handlebars on it because she is heavier and needs to be more upright. Although I enjoy seeing my old bike, it kind of looks like Frankenstein. Still, I am really happy that it worked out for her. Her old bike was so heavy and slow. And with this modification, she at least gets a lighter, faster bike.
