I'm looking for a frame to build up for my wife of a step-through variety (cruiser/'dutch'/etc) to take 700/27" wheels. Would prefer a threadless fork/headset setup though I know it's a long shot there. Would consider the right road frame. Will also need bb/cranks/seatpost.

Also seeking a leather saddle in decent shape, any models considered, for around £20-30 for aforementioned bicycle

thanks

You wont find a traditional 27" frame with an oversize ahead setup. And why would you want to?
You could get a modern retro-style bike. The new specialized globe series has some beautiful bikes.

If you are desperate to setup an old frame with threadless just get a fork with longer steerer, chop off threaded bit and use 1" aheadset & clamp on stem.

more concerned with finding a threaded or 1" stem that will take 30mm handlebars

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
