Hi all. I'm looking to build up a very cheap single speed road bike
for going to the pub and shops and generally rolling around on.
I got a very cheap ($35) donor bike from a local Op-Shop. It's got Dia
Compe brakes, some non-make cranks (which will do for now), nice-ish
bars and stem, I have a seat and post from an older bike. The wheels
are good but need a bit of maintenance and a Single speed conversion
kit put on (Gusset and DMR do fairly cheap kits). I have all other
parts apart from new bartape, bearings etc...
The problem is I'm 6 foot 6 ish (200cm) and the frame on the donor
bike is 22-23" so too small for me. Does anyone know where I may be
able to get a cheap steel frame to fit me from? I've been trawling
ebay in my local area for some time but to little success. Is there
anywhere else I should be looking?
Anyone have something they want to sell me? Remember cheapness is key.
Oh and I'm in Melbourne.
Cheers all.
