Thanks...
I just needed the right keyword for the search.
Need advice on how to resolve issue
The resizing went well, but unfortunately there was a communication error, and the resized frame was smaller than desired, but still turned out good.
The original was a HUGE frame. I could imagine how its utility would be compromised for us mere mortals.
I'm not sure if there was any longterm followup.
Looking at that Nolan frame, I can see paint removal at every joint, so in that case, essentially the whole frame was rebuilt from scratch.
In the OP's case, if only the front of the frame is rebuilt, then at least the rear triangle would likely stay original which would reduce the work somewhat.
