Hi,

I have enough parts laying around to almost build a SS/FG bike. I even have a frame although I have no idea what it is and it weighs a lot. I was told it is hi-ten steel, which I truly believe.

Anyway, I'd like to build a bike (mainly just to tinker because that's what I do ) and the bike's main purpose would be for riding in crumby weather, and not worrying about theft. Having said that I am thinking of getting this frame:

Why not just use the crappy one, you ask? Well, it's kind of heavy and just a tad too big for me. So I was thinking about getting that Vilano frame because it's CHEAP! I was wondering if anyone could give me some input, first impressions, or anecdotes regarding Vilano bikes and/or more specifically this frame. After all it is a mere $100 for a frame, fork, headset, and BB...I'm sure it's far from amazing but how bad could it be?


thanks.
