> I figured adding a Drop Handle Bar will help me but don't wanted to spend more $
Depends on whether you think buying bars, cable+housing, possibly a stem, and these shifters:

is low cost enough.

They still make them.
You may want to look at getting these to replace your shifters. I know that I had issues with the A050 shifters in that my knees were hitting them, and changing gears on me, whenever I would stand to climb.
or better yet, get the Shimano Tourney A070
> I thought that bike comes with those mini-V's that work ok with standard levers.
Doh. Yeah, he could probably just fit mini-v's instead of all that other stuff I mentioned eh?
> I don't think the FX 7.3 is a terrible bike to convert to drop bars. The geometry is very similar to the 520 touring bike.
Ahh neat, the 520 is really, really darn close to the geometry of the old 700 I'm thinking about putting drop bars on. The 700 has a bit more trail and slightly shorter chainstays. It already has traditional cantilevers and shifters that'll fit on a road bar so I'll hit that mythical cheap drop bar hybrid conversion people ask about.
...or I could buy a set of those 7 speed brifters (2x7, 3x7) Shimano came out with in 2013 and spend as much on the conversion as I did the bike!
