It depends on exactly what equipment your bike has; probably nobody
here would know. However, it will most likely cost almost as much as
a brand new Fuji Touring, which includes what you want (known as
"integrated shift levers", "STI", or known here as "brifters").
Here's why (prices are GUESSES of cost at LBS):
STI levers: $150
New rear wheel: $120
New cassette: $60
New cables/housings: $20
New front derailer: $30
New rear derailer: $60
New crankset: $120
Labor: $100
Total: $660
In reality, you won't need the rear derailer, and the wheel can be
re-worked (for more $$$ in labor and a new hub, costing more). You
probably don't need the crankset either. Many LBS won't want to do
the work without those items, though. A new Fuji Touring costs
something like $800, and a similar new Jamis Aurora is less.
