Light(ish)weight Pompetamine

What size frame? Setting arbitrary weight limits for a budget first singlespeed build seems like a waste of time and/or money.

To deal with your budget constraints I'd start looking to ebay for used 'cross bikes and disc commuter hybrid stuff.

I think it's fair enough to have a target weight in mind. If I have no regard for weight, I could end up building a bike that's 12kg+ which would not be what I'd set out to achieve. Having a budget is just a fact of life. I wish I could say "cost no issue", but that wouldn't be true.

Therefore, I'm just trying to find the sweet-spot where price and weight seem to dovetail, and am happy to compromise both (within reason) to get a decent build.
