Its unlikely, but if I am a little bit flush in the next couple of months, I may get a new frame for my singlespeed.

What options are there for slot dropout steel frames? There are the obvious contenders:

On One Inbred - definite possibility

Dialled Love Hate - would look nice next to the PA, and I do like them, but the eccentric BB would mean getting a new set of cranks (my current Hones run with a HollowtechII) and I would like to simply swap the components straight over

Cotic Simple - yes please, but most definitely out of my price range

Sanderson Soloist - possibility, but I will have the same BB problem won't I?

Genesis io - don't know much about them but they look nice and probably would be in my range.

What else is there?

They will work fine in an EBB.

Really?

That puts a different slant on things then.

I cannot recommend saving up for a Cotic Simple enough. I love mine so much, it's great. With good tyres and pikes it just rules. It beasts up the hills, is great on singletrack and the downhills and is so, well, simple. I think I'm going to do the mega next year on it...

Kinesis Virsa/Decade looks interesting, swappable dropouts.
