Guess anything designed for 8 speed and up with rim brakes should be fine though.
What is your actual budget? You should be able to find a decent aluminum frame and fork used on eBay for around $200 with some patience. You can probably find something for $100 off Craigslist depending on your local market. There were some $300 Chinese carbon frames on ebae recently
