And I think you're right. But suppose you could get a NOS Italian frame with Campy dropouts for <$200 delivered, and hang your existing parts on it?
For example:
Frame 1
Frame 2
These are just quick examples - they may or may not be your size, but these kinds of frames are out there. Either way, though, you can't go wrong. And a "custom" Ironman would be cool!
