I want to change the bars on my wife's Viva Bellisimo, but I'm stumped before I begin! How do i take these bars off, and will taking them off magically reveal to me what size stem to get!?

Any help gratefully received!

I think I've got it! It was pretty simple. I just need a thread less stem now if I'm right?

Had any one tried to change bar on race bike to the hybrid type of bar? What you think how would that looks ?

Looks are subjective. You'll need new brake levers and shifters and probably a new stem to get the right position. I have a bike that is normally fitted with drops that I have flat bars on:

Not mine, but you get the idea:

It's a Thorn, so you're stuffed before you start really IMHO.
However.
That seatpost. WTF?
Bar arrangement - xx(
Half-a-mile of headset spacers - :stop:
And the chain's a bit slack...
