How about the Cipollini RB1K 2017 Frameset, currently available in M, L or XL for £16 over budget at Mantel:
https://www.mantel.com/uk/cipollini-rb1 ... N0YXJ0Nw==
Big discount on RRP, but potential downsides include:
1) Ultra-aggressive stack dimension
2) Fugly to some (many?)
3) Budget fully consumed, hence less funds available for d+h.0 -
have you seen the de rosa SK framesets on chainreaction?0

I think 90% of riders would struggle to see past the chiropractors with those frame geometries.
Either that, or they'd undo any aero gains (and look like a chop), by adding about 50mm of spacers under the stem.0 -

Just like most aero bikes I see!

If anyone miraculously stumbles on a 2017 frame or complete bike, at a semi reasonable price, I would be very interested.

OP - are you up for a dabble in the Chinese market. Velobuild have this on offer at $499 plus shipping (and the various import stuff will apply I imagine)

Matt or Glossy black and a stem as slammed as you'll ever get by the looks of it.0 -
if you search eBay every day you'll eventually find another soloist, after my first one cracked, I searched every day and I think after maybe a month or so, one popped up in the perfect size and I think it was about £400 or so for the frame.

that is freakin' cool.
big phat deep rims, matt black everything apart from some really lovely tan walls. it'll look well smart. it'll be like the space ship to Milliways.
that is on the short list. am actually very, very tempted just as a play thing.
