Old road or track frame

[Rsmith]

Just eyeing my options really. Want to build a cheap fixie to commute to college on. I did see one on another site but the seller has not contacted me. So what you all got? Regards, Rob
(Cheap as poss, obviously)

Thanks for that. It may be too small though. I should have mentioned that I need a 56-60cm frame as I'm 6" 1"/ 2". Thanks anyway, I'll bear it in mind. Rob

That also sounds interesting, maybe a little too big. What's the tt length? I could probably get away with it if I was running flat bars. Other things needed mainly would be cranks, stem, bars, (maybe a rear wheel but they are easily sourced). Thanks for the reply, Rob

its basically a bike i found at my dads but the wheels are pringled! the only things missing are the bar tape! will measure the tt length tomorrow and post some pics for you.

Ok thanks for that. Rob

well, I'm 6" 1 ish and a low standover height means less worry about (gentlemen, deep breath) tearing off a knacker...

(i know someone who will never ride a top routed cable frame again)
