right I need to replace my training and club ride bike. I'm thinking around £1k
please discount the 'amazing' online offers as i'll only buy from a bike shop. Mainly due to experience and service.
I'm happy to drop carbon for alu so I have excellent components

I would disagree, drop the components in favour of a good quality frame(whatever material) and upgrade later. A poor frame with good components is like a Chaved up Saxo.Norfolk, who nicked all the hills?

Have a look at the Viner Gladius. £1k gets you a full monocoque carbon frame and Veloce 09 componentry.
They've pitched this model with the help of Halfords at the Bike to Work 1k cut off. So you get a lot of bike for your money.

Don't wory, I won't buy a bad frame just drop the wonderful carbon to replace the Aluminium one. I have my Carbon bike for racing this is for training etc
I've had enough of my tiny compact frame with a tripplehttp://twitter.com/mgalex

The Viner is worth a look as suggested by Barry but I would look at the Ribble Nero Corsa with Ultegra also at a grand and available on the halfords scheme0

I will quickly mention the Dura Ace Planet-X offer for £1000 that started last Thursday for 100 bikes, allegedly, just in case you are swayed by a tempting online offer
Another option that springs to mind is the Dolan carbon framed bike at Dave Harding Cycles in Woolston (Southampton). The bike is above your budget, but having read you have a racing bike, you might be tempted by those nice DALKIIA 'sixzerox22' 60mm deep section carbon wheels to transfer to your nice bike...
