Alu Klein, Alu Cervelo, now what Carbon frame for under £1k

My last two frames Klein Quantum and Cervelo Soloist have been aluminum. But I'm seriusly considering getting a carbon frame and will transfer some components.

I'd like a carbon Klein (beautiful bikes) but they aren't made anymore. My Cervelo Soloist, while good looking, is no Klein but is lighter and faster.

Ideally I'd like a Cervelo R3 but can't afford a new one. The Cervelo RS is probably not sporty enough and again over budget.

So can I have recommendations for a high quality, fast and good looking carbon frame for under £1,000?

    Have a look at the Canyon frames. You can get previous season's models in the Outlet section for less than £700.

    I too have a Klein Quantum and a Cervelo Soloist and have been finding excuse after excuse not to buy a Cervelo R3. It's a better bike than I need although I could almost afford one (I'd have to give up some luxuries for a while) :(

    I'd be very interested to see the frame suggestions. The first the Canyon looks like a good start. And like the Klein and the Cervelo, there's not many about. Which is always a bonus :wink:
