So there's this frame out there in the ether of the internet that would 1. fit me and 2. appear to be an ideal candidate for a coupling.

It's in Independent Fabrication steel Crown Jewel. I've e-mailed a buddy at IF about this but I'm also curious about conversions of existing frames in general and things to beware of.

If any builders here have experience with this type of procedure I'd love to hear about it. What problems might arise? Is it just as costly as having one done from the ground up?

Thanks for any thoughts on this subject.
