Thanks for the input. I saw the bikes for sale from the velodrome, but they aren't exactly what I have in mind--I was looking for something with a bit more "character", if you know what I mean... At any rate, several of the ss bikes I've seen around WSU look pretty well put together--I figured that perhaps there was a "recycled bikes" type shop or even coop, like I've seen in other cities.

Believe me, I've been trolling craigslist for some time for a suitable conversion, but I just haven't found the right frame.
