Frame needed. 54 or 56 cm for road bike project

[Saluki]

Hi
Hubby has been scouring ebay for a new (to him) frame. His Carerra frame is too small at a 52cm and he is looking for a bigger frame to transfer the rest of his bike over too.

He is ideally looking for an aluminium frame, 56cm max. Make/brand unimportant as his bike is being downgraded as a winter bike as he is saving hard for a Boardman Road Team carbon jobbie.

We live in East Anglia but happy to collect over a 200 mile radius of Norwich. We cannot go over £100 for a frame though.

Can anyone help?

Thanks folks.
I have contacted Shaun about his Trek frame, which hubby seems very keen on. At the mo I am trying to everything I can to keep him cycling. Himself wants a Trek frame & forks and that's fine by me.
He is saving up for a Boardman at the moment but his N+1 will not be a reality until next spring. I think that he will get far more enjoyment on a frame that fits him properly.
