Ribble audax alternative?

I recently built up a Ribble audax 7005 frame as a winter bike. Had a few rides and just don't like the geometry. The horizontal top tube and short head tube mean the bars sit too low for me relative to saddle. I've tried more spacers & flipping the stem but still not comfy. 

So now looking for a replacement frame & forks with a sloping top tube and mounts for mudguards & panniers. Is there anything else at a similar price range to the Ribble?

Cheers
Matt

    condor fratello, Hewitt Aravis? my partner hated her Ribble and got rid of it fairly quickly because of the reasons you gave. Spesh. tricross perhaps. Try the audax thread over at www.yacf.co.uk

    what size are you after?

    I have a ridley aeron tr (about a years use) which I bought precisly because I didn't like the ribble audax geometry. It has a relatively short TT and long headtube
