    Looking to build a cheap winter bike.

    Single speed. Capable of taking at least 28mm tyres (and potentially cx tyres).
    need clearance for mud guards also.
    Please recommend cheap frames.

    Thats all thanks.

    Or if you want a more upright/flat bar build, a Vitus Vee One.

    Personally, I'd prefer the Pompino or a Charge, but the missus has a Vee One 29" and it's a great (fun) bike for short commutes when she doesn't notice.

    Looking at building something similar. Pompino will take a 35 mm tyre apparently. Mudguards, rack. Canti or v brakes. Coming in about 220 delivered with fork. 120 mm spacing on rear. Surly cross check was another one i was looking at. Can be run ss or geared. Cotic roadrat was another geared/ss frameset. Pompetimine is like the pompino but woth 135 mm spacing and will take disks.

    Nice! Looks a good price too.

    I was all set to buy the Day one with Alfine hub, the bright orange one. Looks like the ultimate commuter/winter bike.
