    Default Steel commuter frame

    Looking for a steel road frame and fork. 24' top tube length. Older frame, 27" wheels OK too. Any dusty/ unloved bikes/ unfinished projects out there?" The chili chef from the wicked ride"

    Any way 21.5" TT would work? (Probably not with your lengthitude, but figgered I'd put it throw it out there anyway.)
    Got a sweet old Schwinn Passage tourer laying around, lugged steel, full rack and fender mounts, canti brakes even.

    I actually have an old steel road frame and fork collecting dust in my shop. It may even be a Schwinn Tempo. I think it's around 60-62cm, but I'll measure it and let you know. It's got horizontal dropouts, and I've kept it around to build into a single speed/fixie commuter bike, but I know I'll never get around to it. It's in Haverhill, MA. Will trade for chilli.

    Please measure and get back to me. I have hooked up with the MV chapter home brew club and my beer cellar and fridge is overflowing, do you have a favorite beer style?. Got one gallon ziplock of chili in the fridge too.

    I actually sent you a PM yesterday - it's 62cm with a 23" top tube, measured center-to-center. And it is a Schwinn Tempo, frame, fork and headset, and a bottom bracket that may or may not be salvageable. I snapped a pic I can email you if you'd like.

    I like big angry stouts and porters the best, but am open to trying anything the brewmaster recommends
