Not meant in any negative way at all RegularGuy but...

Isn't this a bit like the old adage... polishing a turd? Why not put the time & money into one of thousands of great, reliable steel framesets that litter the Net and real world...
I can understand budgets and the like but for nearly the same amount of money-a bit more/a bit less if you're lucky-you could be doing this build on a steel Miyata, Motobecane, Trek, Dawes, Jackson, etc frameset with time-tested geometry and more importantly, quality tubing and quality welds.
