More bike nerding.
My quest for the perfect frame continues.
Finding a suitable road frame for a fixed-gear build is not usually difficult. But when you’re extremely choosy, and strapped for cash…it gets difficult really quickly. The scoop is pretty much this:
Pros:
- I’m a very average frame size, and there’s tons of frames that fit me around.
- Road bikes are pretty cool right now, so lots of people are digging out their old bikes and putting them up for sale.
- I’m not necessarily looking for anything too primo.
Cons:
- I’m a Miyata fanboy, and would thus reeeeally like a Miyata frame to work with.
- My budget is somewhat wanting.
- I loathe the spray-bomb/powdercoat trend, and want a frame with the original decals.
And so it continues…
