Ditto. I've done a rescued-from-the-skip SS conversion on a Falcon Black Diamond. 27" wheels and gas pipe, it was always screaming 'frankenbeater', so I didn't worry about keeping the cockpit sympathetic. Nor the saddle. I just went with what worked for me.
So. It's ugly, mismatched all over, handles like a fridge/freezer: But I spend more time on this than my road bike and actually look for reasons to pop out for a quick spin on it : )
