Wanted: Cheap frame in Chicago...

I think I have enough extra parts to put together another bike, just need a frame. Anyone happen to have an old road frame or whatever laying around? My two main bikes are apart right now and I need something to ride around on for a couple weeks..

I have a Schwinn Le Tour II fork and frame. Frame is straight though the paint is shot. I was planning on building it up, but I found another frame that is lighter than the Schwinn. You are more than welcome to it if you need it.

I'm located in Evanston, right next to the purple line near the Noyes street stop. If interested, drop me a line at uniseriate@yahoo.com.

If you need a cheap beater frame check out Working Bikes (https://www.workingbikes.org). They have hella beater frames and if you only get the frame it should cost you prolly like $20....

Thanks, panasoanic. I felt kind of like a prowler because I picked it up from behind your building at about 2am, I don't think I disturbed anyone though. Thanks again.
