Heck, I don't need to look into this any farther - it certainly will work. See this link from the first page you sent for a description of the mods.<br><br>Not sure I would like the hipbelt, though - same belt, probably in the same location. It needs to be contoured to prevent interference with hips when walking. Unfortunately, readily available off-the-shelf components like a Tech-5 run the cost up quite a bit - OK for "professional use", but on a budget... may as well get a commercial system when you add up all the costs.<br><br>Anyway, if you can pick up a frame inexpensively (yard sale?) this looks like the simplest solution to the frame ergonomics that I have seen. I'm not going to sacrifice one of our frames (the kits have a dedicated purpose), but I'm going to put the word out to keep an eye peeled for a good deal on used ones. I'd like to try this out just for the heck of it.<br><br>Please post if you make this improvement and tell us all about it.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom
