[Closed] What light, cheap singlespeed frame?

As it says, I fancy something a bit lighter than my current slot-drop steel on-one. A 26" slot-drop scandal would do nicely I reckon, but there won't be any available for a while, and they never seem to appear second hand.

Any other ideas? I'd rather have a ss-specific frame, preferably slot dropouts as I like the simplicity.

voodoo bokor, on-one scandal or wippet, if you fancy something different there are some very nice felt 29er singlespeeds with rebas etc on winstanleys for less than £600.00 for the complete bike and even a big wheel will be lighter than the gaspipe 😀

Very hard to go past the On-One unless you're prepared to spent a heap more money.

Tazzy same here about the Felts. A Swift and a ti29er gives me enough 29er options. But those Felts are worth buying for the frame and fork alone. 🙄

Genesis 10- nice light frame with a bit of spring in it-nice not to have cable guides everywhere too.
