I'm planning on starting a ss build for trips to the local park with a bab seat on and also for a winter hack. I'm on a really really tight budget but the problem is I have high expectations of what I want! Would love a 456/inbred sort of frame with rigid forks. Need advice on most aspects to keep the cost/maintenance to a minimum. Any advice would be happily received.

I'm 6 ft 2 but my budget won't stretch to that I'm afraid. I'm not too bothered about condition as long as its structurally ok. Cheers anyway though bregante.

No worries (probably on the small side anyway - I'm 6'2" and it's a bit small on me)

Need advice mostly on setup, what's all this dropout malarkey? Will any wheels fit with a ss conversions kit?
