It's not about how valuable or collectable or desirable the frame is you asshat, it's merely about the fact that you had a pretty nice lugged road frame that you could have used as a perfectly functional fixed wheel conversion for now and who knows who could have used it as who knows what in the future.
Now you'll have an anonymous blob with some wierd bumpy bits, a brake mount with no cable routing to it and forward facing dropouts. It'll have zero appeal to anyone else (and probably to you when you get it built and realise it has clearances you could fit a bus through) and is probably destined to be recycled into coke cans or something before the year is out.
