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

Looking for a Frame to Build

Hey guys.
Got my SS/FG stolen today. First time I was riding Fixed in like 4 months and it got stolen.

I realize I miss gears. XD. Still might keep a ss, but for the most part, now that I have my pride and joy stolen, im considering building a 10-speed.

Steel, traditional road look (none of those sloping top tubes =p), and.....ive never considered looking for a road frame so im not to up to date on good pricing/expensive/cheap pricing......a cost under $400.

Man. And any suggestions would be cool. This doesn't mean im going to building one for sure. But now that I have NOTHING, it wouldn't hurt to do research as to how a road bike build would go, which I assume will be more expensive than an SS build.

Im a little skeptical now with regards to building SS/FG hype dies.


Man you roadies are getting to me...............

oooh la la https://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/bik/1912009739.html

ok in your area...older frames, you would have to spread the rear triangle if you want to accommodate a 10 speed cassette.
