As I've been called: Yes, I have got a butterfly bar on the knockabout bike and bought it as an experiment as I'd long had issues finding a comfortable riding position with the original flat bar due to an overly long top-tube. It's sorted out that problem and gives a choice of other hand positions. I like them a lot on this bike and they do the job nicely. My own Galaxy will be sticking with the drop bar though as I like that better.
@Iainj837 if you're happy setting up gear and brake cables then yes, it should be a fairly straightforward swap. As well as different shifters, brake levers and brake cables you'll also need to make sure that the clamp area of the bar is correct for your stem as there are several different sizes available.
