Fuji Obey if you can find one. Last I saw they were going crazy cheap, but haven't seen them in stock on most sites recently.

Also, anything in the Citygrounds clearance section + a can of black spray paint should come out under 200.

I know you said frame, but these completes are available for less than $400 if the size you need is available.

Windsor the Hour is available in "Matte or Gloss Black(No choice)" if you felt like taking a gamble: https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/windsor/thehour.htm
Kilo TT in matte black: https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...t_stripper.htm
