OEM frames?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

OEM frames?

Is there such a thing in cycling? I'm looking for a bike for my gf, and am having a rough time finding a frame to start the build with. I was thinking on just getting a used frame/bike, but Craiglist has been a bust so far and E-bay hasn't been much better. Does anyone know of a distributor or retailer that sells frames on the cheap ($100)?

Chuck's Bikes has low priced frames, but not as low as you're looking. Check them out anyway, you might find something that interests you.

https://www.chucksbikes.com/store/indexfr089.htm

Here's a frame for $95.

Leader has frames as low as $129.

I'd have a hard time believing you can't find anything on ebay this time of year unless your looking for a weird size. I have a Brand new 2006 Scott Speedster 30 52cm frame and fork if your interested.

That's what I paid for it. $121.64 with shipping. I'll end up with a 19 lb. new bike with Campy 10 speed Veloce-Centaur mix for under $500.00 complete.

Didn't really sound like the OP was interested. But no, I'm not going to sell it for $100.00 The frame I bought was listed on ebay for $175.00 and no one bid on it. I contacted the seller after end of auction and offered him $100.00 and he accepted plus he had cheap shipping. It was a 2006 that was disassembled and parted out with 0 miles on it. Still had the tags on the frame when I got it.
