I don't have any clue as to why you would want to do this. The shifters transends have are absolutely amazing! But, yeah, you could. You'd also have to get new brake levers though, as the brake levers connect to the shifter pods.
I love my transend dx. I've had it since December of 2007 and have ridden it a lot. The geometry is comfortable, the seat is comfortable, it comes with quality fenders and a quality rack, the drive train is smooth and the gears shift well, the ergo grips are the most comfortable things ever, rigid fork, it's not heavy (although I don't really care about weight). There are too many good things to say. My friend liked mine so much he bought himself one. I run 700cx38's on it and they're still nimble, but don't take bumps horrible like a 23, 25 or anything that low does. I've used it on 25 mile rides, everyday commuting, groceries, fun rides, and errands. It is a great all-around bike.
Downfalls: I don't like the sloping tt, but I got used to it. That's really the only thing I don't like.
This bike rules. I can't even imagine how great the lx's would ride......
