Back to the talkin!
I guess my builds are planned in the opposite direction. The frame is chosen with the end goal in mind. If I want to build an upright bike, I'll get a frame that works for that instead of trying to make something else work via odd parts. Then I refine it over a decade of inactivity until Serge throws whatever he has on it in frustration so I have something I can actually ride. Would you believe that the Norco isn't my longest running build? There's an upright "British tourist" type nishiki in the garage waiting for a Nexus wheelset.
