• 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?
