G-baby158 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 If you get yourself validated you will be able to get near on any decent frame for £100- £150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaC-PrO Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Try having a look at some of the bike shops on the internet at the bikes that they have, If you cant find a frame that you like I would try looking on EBAY you will be able to find alsorts of different frames for your budget on their.
