those are the reason's he's asking.

OP,go build your own bike if that's what you want to do.

read lots of sheldonbrown.com.

if the kilo's not for you, then it's not for you. it's as simple as that.

its really not that hard and shouldnt take "months", hell i could convert a bike in hours, and so could you if you do it right, and measure twice/cut once.
