Considering I have absolutely no experience in painting or welding and the fact that I don't really have the time/space required, doing myself is definitely not an option. I'll keep a tab on that one for sure. There's a bike shop that's about a 30 minute ride from my school which has a lot of older conversion worthy frames for the low low so I think I'll head there on Wednesday, now that I think about it, I might actually be able to build an entire bike there for not a lot of money.
