Lol you are dealing with an artiste when they inform you that your body is the wrong size for their work.
Legend has it that Frank Lloyd Wright told a client that the reason she was uncomfortable in his chair was that she was not the correct shape.
 
Unfortunately (for all of us, youzeguy don't need to watch me butcher bikes even worse) I can't weld, so all my drops have to point in their original direction. Never had a trail bike with track drops, pretty much everything is quick release
 
This guy has a few things worked out

Excerpts:

-"I encourage folks to get creative and build these bikes with the plethora 90s MTB parts that are just waiting to have a second chance at the shralp."

On wide drop handlebars: "The kinds of bikes we are riding drop bars on now are essentially what we rode on mountain bikes in the 90s"

-"Will you ever give up on square taper? Nope; no reason to. The industry has been chasing its tail with BB standards since 1998 and they still haven’t found anything as simple, reliable, smooth, and inexpensive. Not to mention beautiful."

-"All the best parts have already been made in huge quantities. Those parts were built to last, unlike what you’d find today. There is little risk in finding them used, even if they’re 25 years old. "
 
^Not a complete bike, has no brakes. If they finish it, I might be interested. Is it too big for the owner? Maybe a step through frame so they don't need that BMX pad
