    If you've got the wheels then why not build yourself. Ultegra groupsets can be got for under £500, and there are some really nice framesets out there - such as the kinesis aithein, and bowman palace.

    Why not carbon out of interest?

    Been looking at this myself for next year and if you want something you can race then I would go CAAD10 or newer CAAD12 if you can wait, or look for the Specialized Allez E5 Smartweld (they can be bought for about £600 now in the UK depending on if you can find your size.
    Obsessed is a word used by the lazy to describe the dedicated!
