I'm all for making an old unkown into a fixed gear, but I really cant see the point in hacking bits off. It may well not be a super frame from a super builder, but there is a chance that in a good few years from now, his works are sought after. Maybe even from his own family, just for sentimental reasons.
As said before, there are loads of mass produced and decent 531 frames that nobody would really care about now or in 50 years time. You should have just got one of those to hack into.
About these frames that are available, try explaining what they are before complaining that nobody wants to save them.
