I found this Origin 8 Mixer frameset:

and this Intec T7 frameset:

They're both steel framesets. But, the Origin 8 can't use V-brakes. And the Intec has a weird dropout that kind of scares me. I mean it has this bolt that you can screw. However, it can take V-brakes and is available in yellow.

Does anyone know of any mixte framesets available in yellow, can take V-brakes and are available in steel and no weird dropouts? By the way, if I wanted to go with the Origin 8, then what kind of compromises are we talking about? Would I be able to use fenders wide enough for 700x40 tires? Would I need Shimano flat bar group brake levers?
