Has anyone here every rebuilt a frame to make it smaller, as in remove the lugs, shorten the tubes and re braze the frame? I am only interested in shortening the reach so it would involve removing the lugs on the headtube and lengthening the headtube. I have never done any sort of framebuilding before except if you count making a chopper as a kid in the 70's but am very good with other types of metalworking.(repairing/fabricating machinery) My concern comes from destroying a good quality frame and possibly creating dangerous handling.
