Goodyear bike frame
 
Found this frame on ebay. Looking to maybe build a single speed. Anyone have any idea if this would be difficult? Not sure if I could use standard 700c wheels or standard parts to build up. I think it looks like it would be nice.

Any ideas??

CHPulm24, Goodyear and Firestone both had heavyweight bicycles that were rebranded Columbias, I'm not sure of who may've manufactured your light or middle weight frame, however.

Should be a nice single speed.

From what I see, it could be gas pipe quality frame based on the construction, specially the crimped-on stamped steel rear dropouts. the second hole right behind the BB seems to be an integrated side stand mount where a bent leg, spring and detent mechanism is put in. The frame could have been designed for commercial "fleet" use for service personnel, so it should be strong to last for years of hard use, but do not expect a lightweight bike out of it.

If you check Tj's auction's other items, you might find the rest of that bike.
I bet 700's will fit.

Yeah, should be the best way to at least find the fork and sidestand parts for it.

The starting price is at least four times what it's worth and the shipping charge is much too high.
