Hi all wanting to buy a retro/vintage frame to build into a ss for the commute to and from work

I'm 5,7" ( approx) but don't know what size frame to look out for as this to me is going to be a keeper so need to get it right any help or tips is much appreciated

Been googling and came across this site (Hilary stone.com) anyone used it to buy a frame off of?

Looking to spend about £150 on frame and if posable would prefer to have a lot of parts with it I like that really old style look with some deep rims and front brake only.

I've just got back from a med cruise and while is Italy and Spain I seen loads of these bikes that's what's got me wanting to build one like I've aside not sure on size of frame in cm or inches? And any help will be much appreciated

Used to be a rule of thumb, that you take your height in inches and divide by 3. I am 5ft 9ins and used to ride a 23" frame. But with modern sloping cross bars, it's more of a guessing game.
