My thoughts: 1) Parting out (esp. with new parts) is good because
most parts are not size-specific to the large frame. 2) Of course more
people will be in the market for specific parts a, b or c, rather than

Its kind of odd how our bodies tell us when something isn't good for

NAHBS is all about a host of builders who can do this and you get full
