    For that price, find an old roadie with horizontal dropouts. If you want to keep the gears, then get one with downtube shifters and you can get adaptors to convert them into bar end shifters. Change the drops to a base bar and aero extensions and you're sorted.

    You're unlikely to find a new frame at that price, but should be able to find a used frame - the key is to know what size you need and then keep an eye on ebay and the classifieds. If riding fixed, you only need a front brake
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
