Conversion in Argentina

There are just no new frames available here! This build was planned before I bought this bike, I wanted a decent steel frame, a disc brake and internally geared hub. The best way I could think of to get a decent steel frame for a good price was to buy a complete bike, strip it and then sell the parts I didn't want. Just about the only other option would have been a custom frame, which i would have loved to do, but just don't have the money. I never wanted a nice, classic road bike, just the frame. As it turned out some of the parts will also work with the build I have planned. I really don't think I am going to "ruin" anything, but I guess we will see...

There are track bikes here and I already have one, it is original from the 80s and has an Argentinian frame, hubs, headset, bottom bracket. It is a fine example of what was produced here when they had a good local industry. But for this build I want to be able to run 28c tyres with the option of 32c, this is not going to happen with any track frame that I have come across.

sounds sensible enough to me.
