Fair enough - but what is your budget?

If you're looking to get a decent Columbus or 531 frame for $50 or so, you're gonna have to get REALLY lucky. and then you're gonna have to pay to have the rear triangle cold set properly.

I really don't think you'll find anything of "decent quality" unless you spend at least $200 -$250 for a frame set, unless a stellar deal falls into your lap - or unless your definition of "decent quality" is flexible.
