Have you got Problem Solvers Travel Agents or mini vee brakes? You'll probably find braking a bit pants without!

Anyone going to mention the geometry will now be all out as the frame is designed for flat bars, so could be quite uncomfortable and handle a bit odd?

That depends on what frame it is. I recently went the other way and converted a drop bar to flats. It's a Specialized Secteur, and as far as I could find out with my research, it shares the same frame as the flat barred Sirrus. It has turned out very satisfactory anyway.
