Thanks. I just blew Mountain Dew all over my computer screen.
You pretty much already have the build kit and a perfectly reasonable touring frame can be had for for $125 from Nashbar. There are numerous other options below $400 too. No changeovers required. I myself hate doing more than two changeovers per bike per year. Summer setup, winter setup, that's all folks.
