Most of the guys just used the rearend of a donor bike and make the front section. Conduit should work, I would use something a little stiffer to keep flex to a minimun since she'll be so low.
The pulley set-up would put the seat in an awesome position "super low" but it's a little tricky making sure it all lines up and works smoothly.
Go for it, if it doesn't work....so what, the seat comes up a few inches, no biggie. :D

I tried something really stupid once, it worked and was rideable, but it never was really "smooth" in the drivetrain department due to the pulley set-up.
I think I still hold the world's lowest seat height on a Burrito record though!

Actually that could have been an easy fix, just move the chain pulley from right next to the crank like you have it in the pics and move it back to about where the top tube meets the bottom. the chain would have a more natural line to it and a lot less stress on that one spot as well.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.

Im building a burrito my self becouse I wanted something different. Around here theres not a big bike crazy so I wanted something to turn heads. Got a five speed rear with a sucide shifter and brake. takes some pratice to ride.

This was my first custom build. I ended up selling it to a member here, before I signed on to this site. I didn't know these were a thing then, but other than not being able to go over speed bumps, it was very comfortable to ride. It's still my favorite build so far.
