Building my girlfriend a bike... she is rather particular about aesthetics, however, being a designer, so I need a frame which is
cheap
single colour (as few decals as possible, too)
53/54cm
traditional profile (ie, not compact geo, and not a girls' frame).
long drop-outs
Ideal colours - something light/bright, such as white, orange, light grey...
Paint doesn't have to be in great condition or anything, and the frame doesn't have to be anything fancy, low cost is more important. A basic 80s road frame would be ideal. To fit 700c wheels, usual spec.
Appreciate that my requests for colour etc make me sound a bit like someone shopping for shoes, but these are the constraints I have to live with... Anyone have anything?
