Is there an online shop willing to sell the Optimo frameset only? So far I've seen only complete bikes.

    Frameset options for lower end bikes don't exist unless it's a Planet X one.
    Why not buy one a strip it?

    The Tiagra one is £645 here:

    You'd get around £200 for an unused Tiagra groupset, probably around £30-40 for the wheels and the same again for the finishing kit.

    Bonus is you wouldn't have to install a BB, headset or cables.

    incorrect.

    if you remove the groupset you have to install cables. if its internal cabling and hasn't got internal sheathing its a right PITA and could mean you have to take the b/b out to save your sanity.

    I'm shying away from dragging a big bike box from the DHL store to my home.
    I read on Evans Cycles how accurately they prep each bike nearly ready to ride before shipping and then I come along and strip it anyway, so I kinda feel sorry for them :D
    Also I am too lazy to sell and ship a zillion parts via ebay.
    At least for now.
