So I thought I might put this idea out there to solicit some opinions and advice if you have it.

I have a Univega Modo Volare with 10-speed Campy Daytona that is about 6-7 years old and hasn't been ridden much. I don't like the frame too much, so I was thinking of going after a better frame and just transferring the components to the new frame. I've done this before on both road and mountain bikes with much success, but that was all over ten years ago.

So should I bother with this, or just ride the bike as is till I know that I'm going to ride alot again and wait to get a completely new bike? I prefer steel, but I could be persuaded to do otherwise.

I have another old Fuso frame that I'm wondering about transforming into a cyclocross bike, but I'm not sure about what to do with the brakes. I'm not familiar with cyclocross bikes, so I'm wondering if there are brakes that I can use with the caliper attachment point or if I need to weld something on to use cantilevers?

Also, who has good deals on road frames?

Thanks to all!
