Dear STW hive-mind.
I'm looking for a decent cheap steel commuter as a donor for a project. Are their any massive bargains around at the minute that I should consider.
I'm tryingto make a complete front-loading cargobike for the lowest cost.
I am looking for a steel-bike so that I can cut the front end off the frame, re-weld it as a omnium/bilenky style cargobike and use all of the original parts.
It needs to be new, not second hand; as I'd like to make a batch of 5 or 6 identical ones for friends if the first one works out.
Is there anything better than this?

In an ideal world the donor would have:
Cassette hubs
Forged brake arms (not stamped steel or plastic dross)
Full metal brake-levers
Aheadset
135mm spaced wheels
Mudguards
Thanks in advance.
