Cheers guys.
Momentum - MTB with horizontal drop-outs would be ideal, but I won't hold my breath for finding one cheap. I thought as much about the road frame (plus I'd probably feel a bit guilty caning a 30 year old frame into the ground over a couple of weekends in the mud)
Jammy - Yeah, that bike would probably be perfect but when I said cheap I meant Lidl cheap! I suppose if it came complete I'd be saving some on parts...I'll see if I can spot one on Ebay.
Barber - Thanks for the offer, I'm in London though so the train ticket would probably be more than a bike.
What about parts? I'm guessing 165mm cranks would be a good idea. Ideally I'd want to avoid buying wheels, but if I have to build some cheap which fixed hubs would stand a beating?
