Where do you get your frames?

I'm in the market for a new track frame, but I am having trouble finding online dealers that carry frames that aren't Kilo's, Pake, etc(nothing against those frames at all). I see some nice frames on this forum, but do you mostly scrounge them from craigslist and such and convert them? LBS?

what i normally do is go to a certain brand's website and look for the dealers page and go from there.

You're not going to find a Madison frame unless you come across a used one. They've always been sold as complete bikes.

if you REALLY want a madison frame, buy a Madison (they are only $450 complete...) and sell all the parts. i bet you could make 300 of that back in parts on ebay and CL selling them separately.
