Hi all,
This is quite a big question but I was wondering how many of you had done a complete component transfer from one frame to another. I fancy making a second knock-about bike out of the components from my old bike (whose frame sadly cracked).
My old bike was this (minus the carbon forks; it just had standard ones)

I'm looking to transfer the parts onto some old/cheap frame which is disc brake compatible.
I had a look round and found this..

Are there any obvious reason why a transfer would be problematic? What are the tricky areas?
Cheers,
