Frame Changeover

    Hi All,
    Long time lurker first time poster.
    Just wondering if anyone could help me out with a little problem? Due to my own stupidity I managed to crack my aluminium frame (Genesis Roadbike) at the top of the seat tube (seat post not inserted enough followed by hitting a bump at pace:mad:). Went back to the bike shop and told me that basically the frame is fit only for the bin. Since all the other components are in good order (105’s mainly) the plan is to just get a new frame and transfer everything across. Can anyone recommend a good place to look for frames (possibly second hand, 58-59).
    Since there’s a recession I was hoping to spend no more that €150, is it possible to get a decent frame for that? I use the bike mainly for spins up the Dublin/Wicklow Mts at the weekend but also doing WAR and a charity spin from Cork to Roscommon in Spring/early Summer so would like some comfort and not too heavy!
    Since I’ve only ever adjusted gears/breaks/ etc. before, would it be a crazy undertaking for a novice to do this transfer themselves?
    I know there’s a great brains trust here so any help would be greatly appreciated.
