Cheap "pursuit" frame?
Hey I have tried looking around some, but kinda find any. Does any one know of a cheap steel frame that has pursuit geometry?

affinity lo pro @ 500 comes to mind, ive seen em on craigslist going for around 250 though.

there arent many actual 'pursuit geometry' frames, but i know what you mean = pursuit looks.

Keep an eye out on craigslist and velospace. People usually let them go fairly cheap when they realize it's not what they want it to be. I found my bike on velospace.

Get a job and you won't have to look for a cheap pursuit frame. You can just look for a pursuit frame.
