thanks guys, i'll look for an older road bike but the ones i have seen lately have not been of the appropriate size. I will give it a couple weeks and if i dont find something i will get the nashbar frame. Thanks for the links, they will help tremendously during the build.
surfrider that is a 68' lincoln continental. It is in decent shape and has suicide doors. I have been thinking about selling it as it only get 8mpg and i dont drive it very often. I included another pic. I shoudl be able to get 7-8 grand for it.
