I know my best option probably is to find a used frame in good shape (difficult to do in my size). Just thought I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.
Thanks!
Rivendell does, but their prices are getting way too high. Mercian and Bob Jackson make production and custom lugged steel frames that are very affordable. If you really want cheap, St. Johns Street Cycles has some house branded 531 and Tange tubed framesets.
