I won't be buying any time soon but thanks! I'm more thinking out loud for when I eventually graduate and have some ££. Steel track frame and carbon fork which fits 28mm front and back, I'm thinking it should be a good candidate.

The whole thing could end up being fairly cheap!
Those brakes are terrible and whats the point of going 650b mere 35mm tyre? At least 48mm.
Get V bosses brazed on, it'll be cheap. Use V/Mini V brakes.

A ratty old steel fork would be an option I guess
