(Stupid?) question about lugged steel frame modifications

[weaponsgrade]

Add me to the growing chorus of No's. A change like that would kill holy grail status. I can empathize with the aesthetic concern, but if you've got at least a fistful of post showing then call it French Fit and ride as-is. If not, I'd consider selling and putting the proceeds towards any number of current "holy grail" builders - a Kirk comes to mind.

Okay, thanks for all the input. Will deep-six that idea once and for all.

Sounds like it is not really a grail frame (for you) if it does not fit.

Even if you could do all of that modification- It is not really the same thing if you remove chrome, change lugs, change tubes, etc..
