Yes..I have two shops that I can work with that both are filled with old-school, steel lovin' mechanics. One focuses more on vintage, the other on racing. The old frame is going to eBay. But I still might just upgrade the group now. I have a feeling it will be based on my attitude the day the frame arrives, in terms of which way I go.

The only downside I can see to moving parts from one bike to another is that you will no longer be able to ride the first bike. If that works for you, go for it!
