XC Hard tail race frame

richlong28

i'm racing the british national XC series this year and am currently top of the Sport national rankings however on thursday i cracked my focus raven pro frame

So i'm in desperate need of a XC race frame ASAP as Wasing Park is only 3 weeks away!
I've looked around and so far i can only find the Kinesis KM-180 thats 1.1kg for £900 and the Scott Scale 10 which is 0.98kg for £1450

I was wondering if anybody knew of any hiddens gems or anything?!

My requirments are:
1. as close to 1kg as possible
2. preferably around £1000 would probably go to £1600 as a big push
3. cannot be a lappierre pro race 700 frame as my best mate has one

any input is gladly recieved
Thanks in advanced!

Not sure about the weight of frame only, but this looks good to me:

little over weight but well within budget, could get some new lighter wheels with the change.
