Do these frames ever come up for sale? I only ask because the auction sites I use have people offering whole bikes and others offering parts, including the leftover frames - and quite cheap. So how much would it cost to buy a frame, store the best one away, and then get active with the hacksaw, file and paint to build that real ultimate bike?
In my case, for example, at the back is my ride, in front is a parts bike - currently stored as parts. This spring I will start work on building the latter into a new ride, and I already have a new blade in my hacksaw ready to remove the chainguard mounts...
