Those mid 90s bikes are easier to convert because they used loooooooong stems for those flat bars. A modern short stem with a set of dirt drops fits them well. My Monocog was set up that way for the first 10 years I had it. It is a back up/loaner bike now, so flat bars are on it to keep from scaring the young-ins. I use the drops for technical riding because your arms are better suspension in that position (elbows in, counter to what the dirt jumpers tell you), and cruise on the hoods on smooth sections.
