Connect Trekking Bike Brakes to Road Bike Lever A family member will give me his old (high class) trekking bike. I like the bike a lot but would like to swap the steering bar for a road bike one, which I am used to and like a lot. 


Is it possible to simply connect the Deore LX brakes to my 600 Tricolore road bike levers?
Is it alternatively possible to buy road bike brake/gear levers that can operate the trekking bike brakes and gears?


My question is similar to this one, but I am unsure if the answer applies. Plus, ultimately I'd like to replace the gear lever as well.
You can increase the cable pull of a road lever to work with a V-Brake by using a Travel Agent
