Thanks. That option is definitely on the table. For now, I will be taking most of it for the new frame, but I will eventually upgrade the seat post to a lighter one, which means I can put that back. I still have the original handlebars/hoods, so I could install those if I ever upgrade the fork/stem. I'd imagine I could slowly build it back up with cheaper components over the winter/spring and have a full additional bike. I just have a feeling I won't ride it!
