    In terms of quality all top brands are exactly the same.

    Just get what looks coolest and has geometry suited to what you'll be doing with it.

    Or if you'd fit an XL have a look at this

    but i need a 56cm frame something i could ride long distance comfortably
    rather that a short ride race frame

    Have a look at the Boardman SLS which is about to come out, 850g apparently, I think it is supposed to be £1300 but it could be less, can't remember, but as you say you can maybe go a little higher. Internal cabling and can take mechanical or electronic. It's sort of a new frame aimed at the sportive market.

    Try calling Echelon Cycles on 01386 550606 if you are interested, they deal in a lot of the 'higher end' (non Halfords) Boardmans and will be able to tell you about this frame in detail.
