WTB: Road Bike (Old, new, complete, frame only, whatever!)

Looking for your old road bike. I'm going to tear it apart so condition may not matter. Vintage, new, 21-gear, single gear, whatever. But it has to be a road bike/track bike frame. No BMX, no beach cruiser, no mountain bike.

Thanks

It definitely DOES matter! Make sure that the bike you get does NOT have a vertical drop out. That will not be very fixie friendly.

New road bikes are usually vertical drop out. Youre gonna have to go old-school to get what you want.

Mainly, just let me know what you have and I'll see if I can use it or not.
