While the point of the project is to experiment a bit, the main goal is to have a good frame in the end. Why would I downgrade from SLX to hi-ten? If I could sell the SLX for $50 and buy a hi-ten frame for $50, what's the point? I like this frame and would rather give it a new use than purchase a p.o.s. frame...
This is a hypothetical project, so I'm more curious about what my options would be should I undertake it.
