even minimaxing the cost is likely somewhere in the middle. new stem and bars aren't going to be cheap ($150). sounds like at least the rear tire would have had to go ($100). add a new rear wheel ($300) and we're sitting at $550 to make a $4k bike not suck -- fair? plus tax. and you'd still be riding a hardtail :-p
