Wanted frame or frameset. Small. Up to 400 euro ish

fat bloke

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the night I was washing and cleaning the dolan framed bike which was to be a surprise present for my sister in law, and hanging up on the shed rafter to oil the chain didn't i spot a fricking crack in the down tube . Right where the front mech clamps on. So that's torn that then.

So the longer term plan now is to source her a frame upon which to hang all the bits from the dolan. Most of them are salvageable, it's old but perfectly functional and presentable dura ace, and a nice set of entry level wheels.

I've looked in the usual places - planet x, wiggle etc, but slim pickin's enough. The most attractive one at the moment is the canyon roadlite for 499 which is a very pretty red and black for next year.
A carbon frame would be nice though if it could be had within budget. Size is small or extra small, like a top tube of 51 ish kinda thing. I think the broken dolan is sized as a 48.

Another Dolan is an obvious choice but their sale doesn't have any small frames in stock and in budget.

So. - Anyone here got something to offer? No major rush on this, it's hardly going to be ready for Christmas day now anyway!
