Yup this is it,
I'm going to leave it as an SSCX bike for ages then add gears when I can afford.
I don't plan to be changing it all the time but you guys see how much I change shit just on my track bikes, I like having options.
Say I wanna do a little tour or something, I'm not gonna want to build a comepeltely new bike for a few weeks riding.

You can buy a touring bike on here and flog it post-tour for (nearly) what you paid.
This gets you touring on a suitable bike cheaply. It just means no excuse for endless LFGSS pages of anxious build micromanagement ;)

I'm serious, cheap, put some luggage, go touring, wreck it, then sell it for a little less than paid for.

Potentially, I mean you wouldn't want to be doing it every weekend with all the cabling etc (although you could design it to be minimum hassle) but I don't think a functional multi application frame is impossible. Swap out dropouts and spare forks mean you could have a fair degree of adjustability on the geo and the capability for racks/guards etc
Would be an interesting project. Expensive though. I had been day dreaming about an alternative setup for my Argos, 1x6 for instance with a DT shifter, not necessary at the moment but potentially in the future.
