So I ask you all... What do you think I could do to do this?
Sometimes the journey is more fun than the destination.

It sounds to me like you enjoy the process of rebuilding a bike into something it wasn't originally intended to be. If that's the case, I say "Have yourself a ball." It won't make economic sense, but fun doesn't have to make economic sense. You'll learn a bunch of stuff along the way too and that kind of knowledge is never wasted.

Turning your bike into a "great one" isn't going to happen because you're starting with a water pipe bike frame. Actually, that might be one of the things that you learn along the way.
