So I've been inspired by all my lurking, and I'm going to build a bike (up to this point, the most complicated thing I've done is grease the bearings in a Dura Ace track hub - and the second time I tried to do it my chain whip broke, which scared the shit out of me [then the wheels were stolen]). So let me ask, where is the best place to get a cheap (used or not) frame? Ebay? I'm looking for something that could make an SS or FG for a girl of 5'3"/5'4" (about 1.6m) with a 30.5" inside leg length. I think her last frame (touring) was 16" (41cm), but this web page says she could ride pretty much any size (41-51cm!)?? Anybody have anything kicking around?
I'm gonna be building my first bike from scratch, so I'll also need everything else as well, but nothing fancy. If someone has a tonne of parts kicking around that would work well, let me know and we'll talk.
