Need a frame
Hey guys, I am trying to build up a new Fixed gear road bike. Im looking for some type of solid vintage frame. I want something that is CRMO and not that expensive in the boston area, student budget lol. Some old 10 speed... Raleigh Grand Prix, Centurion, Nishiki, Fuji or something of that nature. Anyone know where I can get something reasonable around the Boston area..shops, people, etc? Thanks in advance for your help.
