You can use any old road frame with old style road drop-outs (don't know the exact name). You will find lots of them on ebay ;-) You do not need any chain tensioners for those frames, cause the dropouts are nearly horizontal. Do not use any lightweigt QRs. Take some old 600 or Ultegra steel QRs.

My road ssp bike did cost about 120.- EURO. It is the first bike pictured in the following thread:
