So if just about any bike will work, how about giving me some good leads on a frame that won't take 10 years to pop up on craigslist but is still kinda nice? I'm a sucker for higher quality tubing even though it might not make a difference.

I've got to agree.

You get a tire/wheel combo with the outside diameter of a 700x23 tire (at 38mm). More rubber, less metal, less weight to rotate on the very outside of the wheel. And the tire is still fat. That's the theory. But I'm just up to "650b bike" stage of gratuitous bicycle collecting. I think it comes right after "cross bike."
