I have a Boardman road bike with drop bars. I have recently acquired a flat bar road bike and have been trying it out. Having ridden mountain bikes for many years going back to flat bars is very enjoyable.

I am now wondering if I should covert my Boardman to flat bars. I am looking for a few opinions regarding this move. I realize that bars, brake levers and gear changers have to be changed.
I could go down the route of buying a purpose built model but I am very happy with my bike apart from the bars. I wonder if the frame angles are different between a "flat" road bike and a "drop" road bike?
Your help and advise will be appreciated.
