Best bet is buy a complete bike, a nicer one. Then sell off the components and you should all of a sudden have a cheap frame. I bought my Prologue for about $250 on eBay, delivered. Came with Shimano 600 tricolor, which I did not want. Sold off the parts, and all of a sudden, the frame set was just about free.
