Bit of a synth enthusiast, here are two tracks I have listened to today...

Hi,
I am new to the forum, I have been a lurker for a while now. I just finished a course at Kingston University, but I am originally from North London.
A month or so ago I decided to buy a bike to get to Uni and back. Late night ebay bargain shopping led to the (regrettable - lack of research on my part) purchase of a Create bike. Please feel free to mock. I have now seen the error of my ways and I am looking to start again! I have been refreshing the classified page for a week looking for something which will suit my budget, and as soon as I am able to post a Wanted ad I will do so.
In the mean time, in case anyone may be reading this, I am looking for a decent budget frame for around £50-£60. A lot of the information on this site is all new to me, so knowing exactly what to buy is proving difficult. Essentially I am after something with good geometry and lugs, but will probably consider anything as a replacement for the Create!
I would post a photograph of my bike, but I am sure you have seen one before, and feel it would only jeopardise any future help I may receive in the future on the forum!

Thank you for the welcome.
An update: took the bike to Evans earlier for them to show me how bent the frame is. The bike is still under warranty, but I'm struggling to see the point in getting a replacement unless it is to sell it to an unsuspecting victim on eBay. I think my morals may be too high to do that though.
Been offered a cheap Falcon 531 frame for the time being. It will have to do until I save up a bit of money I guess.
I wish I had found this forum prior to buying the 'Uni and back'. I feel a bit sick to the stomach seeing what I could have bought for the same money.
