If you're moving to Chicago, unless you're going to be in Hyde Park at the U of C, then plan on using the CTA (i.e., public transportation) as your main mode of transportion, especially between October & April.

You can get a flat, MTB handlebar at any bike shop OR on eBay (make sure the bar has the same size center section [standard or OS] that your current stem uses) OR from mail order retailers like Nashbar (nashbar.comnashbar.comOpen ↗).

If you want green V-brakes (?), then check with Dan's Comp (danscomp.comdanscomp.comOpen ↗) -- they handle BMX stuff, but I'm not sure if they have green V-brakes ... OR, as I told someone once, get a can of spray paint & just paint it!

Get some (hot) water pipe insulation from any hardware/home store to pad your top bar ...
