Looking for a frame

[NoriyukiMyagi]

Hi all,

Relatively new to cycling, very new to the cycling forums...

I'm currently riding a home-built single speed/fixed gear and want to build another. I've been desperately searching eBay, Gumtree, Freecycle etc for months looking for an affordable (I have quite a low budget being a student), suitable frame. The frame I used for my current ride is a very poor Emmelle frame from the 80's. I want my next build to be a bit better and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of a frame with a completely horizontal (no sloped) top tube and horizontal dropouts OR track ends but these seem to increase the price drastically.

Many thanks

Ed

P.S. Condition isn't particularly an issue as I think half the fun is in restoring the frame and I love the whole hands on aspect so if its ridable but battered I don't mind

P.P.S I love the look of the Carlton Corsa but can't find one anywhere, if anyone has one or can show me the way to one that'd be amazing

Well I'm six foot tall and have read anywhere between a 55 and 58 would be ok? current one is roughly 56cm and its perfect really

got a very nice Pollard bike that has track dropouts and around that size , currently running with gears but would go back to single speed easily . let me know if you want more info etc
