Small frame options?
I need a road bike frame for single speed use (preferably rear dropouts, but anything conversion friendly is ok too) for someone who is 5'0" and has a 26" inseam! I know that eventually I'll come across some old ride that may be small enough, but I'm more curious if any single speed frames are built that small? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the link, HR. I didn't realize the Fuji came that small... that's one good option to consider...
