Bare 20 inch wheel bike frames
 
I have a 451 wheelset that I took off my swift, and instead of letting it catch dust I want to put it to use. Does anybody know who sells frames alone that could accept these wheels?

Search for Java 451 in Aliexpress, there is two minivelo frames, and one of them is a good offer :-D

Other than gambling in a sight unseen PRC import,

You could ship the wheels to Bike Friday, and they could build a pocket rocket around it.. they charge a lot for bare frames , so you would perhaps save more in the discount for using your wheels and drivetrain parts, than buying a frame bare and DIY on an assembly..

Bikes direct mini velos are complete, though a whole thread is here about modifying them..

Most of the Dahon Mu frames will take them but you will need to go to caliper brakes instead of V-brakes. Lots of BMX race bikes----Mini's are set up to use these wheels. Normally weight limit of the frame is 70 pounds---grin.

Folding bike frames are pretty rare.

I'm pretty sure you can get the pacific reach as a frame only.

Not a frame only but..
 
I've got a Mu SL11 bike new in box. Came with a QR skewer puncturing the box so a bit scratched.

My thought is you could have a alternative wheel-tire setup with your rims. A bigger tire with a wider range cassette on your rims while standard set would be small and fast

MU SL10s are also prospects. Mu Rohloff and MU Unos also avail on a limited basis. Misses what sort of axles you have in those wheels.

Something will suit those wheels.
