i usually love building my own bicycles but due to working so much i can't seem to find the time to do that anymore. i bought some 100mm wheels almost a year ago and I'm dying to use them already but without the time to build a frame and fork set, I'm pushed into having to just buy something to accept their size. any suggestions on companies to look at?

Ruff Cycles frames would accept that size, as would Basmans.
Rims or wheels? Might be important to check your hub spacing when looking at frames if you have full wheels.

He means "rims". This is reminiscent of the endless conversations I used to have when I was a shop rat.
Customer: "I need a new rim; someone stole my tire!"
Me:"You probably need the whole wheel, plus the tire?"
C: "Naw, I just need a new rim."
M: "You just need the rim? you don't need the hub, spokes, nipples, tube, and tire?"
C: "Whut?"
Hub spacing, chainline concerns, and of course the obvious frame clearances at tire-level will all need to be taken into consideration.

It looks like a Basman 346 Heavyweight frame all by itself, is not something you can purchase new. Am I wrong? PLeeeeeeeaase tell me I'm wrong! I have an opportunity to build one on someone else's nickel, and it looks as though it is only available as a whole bike now! And, as mentioned before, this one does take 100 mm wheels!
