So I have been riding my trusty TREK 1200SL for the past year and its done well, however with the need for a new bottom bracket and a suspected failing rear hub as well, the old adage about flogging a dead horse has come to fruition.
So the budget is £1000 and I am looking to go carbon with no less than 105 or Rival as a groupset, question is which frames to realistically be looking at, Ribble seem good value? as do Dolan? However I know very little about them or how good they are? the third option is a Super Six Evo 105 5 which is 300 quid over budget?! is it really worth it? would really like some advice/guidance on this or other options I haven't considered?!

The R872 is a great bike, same frame as the De Rosa 838.
Some more ideas here:

I think the current edition of Cycling Plus has a £1000 carbon bike article/review too?0
