Did you do a headtube extension?
Bb shell on the 1x1 is 73mm. I could face it down to 68mm and do a bb mount like I think the kickstarter conversion (called Lift btw, googled it) uses.

Hmmm if you think you can get the tolerances right and it will be stiff enough, go for it.
I found the whole experience I bit like using a glue gun on metal. I was very much working in a measure once cut twice kind of vibe.
Head tube extension was the first thing I did and was probably my best weld...Pics to follow.

Not sure I'd want to be trying to fashion a clamp. I built one using a cheap kona frame off eBay. £40 well spent. I taught myself to MIG weld and just cracked on in the garden. It's still going 4 years on. Will try and get some pics up. Been meaning to for ages.
They're great fun to build and own.
