Only possible snags i can think of (other than reach, which has been well covered above) is that the housing stops you will need may be difficult to attach. If your seat binder is a conventional nut-and-bolt behind the seat tube, you should be OK. If it is anything else (brazed on tube with concealed bolt, e.g.), you may need to get creative. Likewise, if you have a threaded fork, the front housing stop that goes above the upper headset cup below the lock nut on the fork will need enough steering tube above the cup. If there's a washer between the headset lock nut and upper cup, you can leave it out & install the housing stop, which will act like a washer. If there is no washer, make sure the steering tube is long enough for the lock nut to engage enough threads to tighten down.
