My old steel Bianchi got killed by a car, but most of the components survived, even the wheels. I found an aluminum road frame on Nashbar.com for $99. The parts all went on except the fork, wrong steerer diameter, so I found an Easton carbon fork, also Nashbar, for $99. Pretty cheap way to get rolling again. I know they have other frame types. Look into the returned goods, or clearance, even though the regular sale prices aren't that bad. I paid a local shop to assemble it, though now I could do it myself. The aluminum didn't have the ride quality of steel, so I sold it to my neighbor, but if you don't mind aluminum, go for it. The build and finish of the Nashbar frame was very nice. Beware that changing frames involves several small things, like headsets, seat post dia., brakes, front derailleur mount, BB, that may add up as unforeseen complication$. My frame came unpainted with a brushed satin finish. I added the decals.
