I'm curious about this too for my Fargo, so I'll chime in. It would be nice to make the Fargo more switchback competent with fatter and sturdier tires, bigger cassette, and other-than-drop bar. Swapping tires and cassette is easy. It's the bar that takes time.
First, it would be a matter of swapping out stems as well as bars -- I'd need something longer for a mtb or even say the Dove bar or Albatross (though I am thinking that a new moustache bar might work too, and might work with the stem I have which is slightly higher than saddle -- have been wanting to try this new model. If this is not to mean re-adjusting the headset bearings, I'd need some sort of locknut spacer -- are these available? Second: do cable splitters affect the precision of shifting the rd? I'm shifting 9 with Silver bar end shifters, so any additional drag on the cable will not be welcome. I'd use BES with an Albastache or thumbies with an upright bar. Lastly: Albatross or Dove or Albastache (hope springs eternal) for technical stuff ... ? Will any of these work?
