I did the big bending in my basement. Literally wedged the triangle in the exposed studs and pulled, pushed. I have a length of all thread with appropriate washers and nuts, so I spread for axle...

Drop bar or flat bar, not for me to say. After breaking my back 8 years ago, I thought I'd never ride drops again. And honestly, I ride the hoods far more than I ever did before. But even 25+ years...

Certainly leaning that way. As for sizing, it just seems odd overall. Slack seat tube angle, steeper rake than my 29er. Standover height for 6'4", but seat tube length for 5'4". Hmm. Forgot to look...
