Most all users are used to having to scroll back to the top to get at the menu on a non-framed site and having the frame doesn't make a significant difference (IMHO) to the ease of use for the end user.

And by using CSS, this isn't even an issue, as you can anchor the menu 
or header in place while the rest of the page scrolls...
