$450 for a 2002 bike? Save up another $100 and buy a brand new one.

Yeah cavernmech is setting me up with a kickass deal on a tube replace. Then i'm not sure, probably rebuild it as a geared roadie and then either getting a fixed rear wheel or getting a totally new build for a beater fixie. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go with a repair given the initial purchase price of the frame but I just liked it too much.
It was fun as hell kicking $5k full carbon bikes up DVP on a fixie.
Frame size wise anywhere I think 54-55cm is about right for me. Or whatever size goki was running on his Nishiki beater (yeah teh beater with NJS stuff).
P.S No cv for me guys
