WTB: SS frameset

I'm getting the single speed bug. Looking to buy a frame or frameset so I can build a rig. I can fit on a 52-55 cm (535-550mm effective top tube is best). What have you got?

Have a Kelly Knobby cross about ten years old in a weird blue color with wound up fork (good condition with minor cosmetic scratches). Fits me well (5'10") with a slightly less than 55cm top tube. Also have handle bars, headset pedals, brakes and other useful stuff. It's collecting dust so make me a reasonable offer and its yours.

This may work. A couple questions-- does it have horizontal/track style dropouts, or vertical? What's the dropout spacing? 130 or 135? Got a picture? Thanks?

It's 130 rear spacing, 1" headset. 68 BB shell, but requires higher q-factor cranks due to wide chains stays (for larger tires). I just measured top-tube again and it is 54.5cm c-c. The fork has lots of extra steerer tube. I can included the cranks and I have tons of parts laying around. I also put a seat-binder-bolt mounted cable stop on this morning as well. The front derailleur clamp area on the frame is very slightly indented from previous owner overtightening the clamp. Let me know if you have other questions.

Hey Adam,

I have a Bianchi San Jose frameset. 55cm, black with white panels, frame/fork/headset/seatpost, I has a Cross Concept carbon fork instead of the steel one, it's a lot lighter. In good condition. I can send pics to you this weekend. 55.5 cm top tube on these. I'm 6' and it fits me but I'm on the higher end of the spectrum. Make me an offer or ask any questions.

Thanks

Might be a little big, but a picture would be great.

Hey Adam,

Sorry for the late response. Took some really bad photos, but can take better ones if you are interested. The bike does show some usage with a couple paint chips and a rub on the fork, one picture shows it. No dings or dents. It's built up for commuting since our cx season is over. Let me know what you think.

Thanks for your time!
