Low on dough faux pro

^ ha. True but not really the spirit ;)

I'd source new 1" forks with a lower crown. Also you could just drop the TT and cut the headtube.... you won't have the faux-pro slopping TT, but you'd have a lo-pro without having to source/pay for a new longer TT.

Out of curiously is it the right size?

I've already got another donor frame lined up for the top tube (gonna use the down tube tho as it's longer).

Will you just fit a new lug on the top of the head tube?

It's a welded frame so I'm just going to get the new tube welded in.
