I have had a couple of people contact me about Romulus frames; their asking price is well within my budget (even after the expense of a set of Bigmouth 57's and a pair of Ruffy Tuffy's is figured in)...so unless someone has a Rambouillet or AHH frame out there for a killer price, I think i've found what I need.
