I agree, it sounds a bit involved to get it handling right with the change of wheel sizes.
I like what you're doing though - taking some nice older models and making them more relevant without changing the original looks. Tasteful yet practical mods. I hate the way so many folks take these old bikes and hack them to pieces in the name of "cafe racer" or "street fighter" etc, and just end up with a complete dog's dinner.
