    I don't have a bike since March. I've been riding my girlfriends bike all the time.

    I wanted to build a bike before my daughter was born last December but I didn't find a proper frame in second hand so far.

    Am i being cheap?
    Maybe, but I know if I buy a new frame I will by a lot of new parts and I'll end up spending 1000€ and no time to build the bike.

    Thing is I have a lots of good parts but from the 90's and 00's.

    So for the last month I'm looking into a second hand bike with price limit 700€.
    Surly, Bombtrack, Trek 520, Cinelli...

    No sucess so far.

    It has to be steel and I need it for daily use but also for some touring.
    It can't be fancy cause I don't want it to be stolen.

    Maybe I should get punched for...

    • I’ve got a Peugeot frame here that needs some love before it rusts away.?hans_glib
    • ah! if it's a racing frame then it's not what I'm looking for as I still have my fixed gear waiting for a paint job.oey_oey
    • besides, I found a complete Bombtrack Arise for 500€. Okay it's a thin frame but damn is it gorgeous.oey_oey
