I saw that Raleigh and thought it looked nice, no horizontal dropouts though

 

[ianjmcd]

why the need for horizontal dropouts ??

If the post isn't seized and it's still available this looks half decent: http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/vintage-lugged-steel-bike-frame-22-1960s/1018774476#photo-content

I'd just keep a sharp eye on the local listings, something is bound to come up! £35 for the other frame isn't too bad, but the postage just pushes it over the edge for me!

at least that raleigh is complete even has mudguards ideal for school run and you can still turn into a fixie as the rear sprockets will be screw on not cassette

22 inch vintage frame might not be best for young jazloc though geometry will be completely different

I might contact the guy about that Raleigh

 

[ianjmcd]

It's about the same size as the Raleigh you posted, best way of estimating from the pictures is the length of the head-tube with older style horizontal top-tube geometry.

I find with older style geometry you can ride a larger frame than modern geometry would allow. Not sure why that is, but both my classic bikes are supposedly far too big for me by modern terms but they fit perfectly.

Always worth a try when it only takes one button to respond to the ad.
