Thinking of alternatives I did see an aluminium framed Cyfac with carbon front and back end when I was here at the weekend. http://www.boutiquecycles.co.uk/
Didn't particularly grab me, but the build was a bit less than my budget. Goes to show that there are plenty of interesting alternatives out there.

Rather like the Elite in that colour scheme!

Hence, why there are so many to choose from out there. Each to their own, I agree.

I prefer my Sempre Pro, I must admit.

If you want a 2k carbon Pearson, there are a couple of options

http://www.pearsoncycles.co.uk/pearson-i-m-not-a-number-949.html#product_tabs2 (I think this is the update to my Pave, quite upright Sportive rather than arse in air race)

Or there's this, must be new offer, not a lot of detail

And one of these to go with?

I'll bet you are FF...

I'm kinda excited for you, just love new bike time (even if it's not mine).

How long from ordering/being fitted to completion then (if you don't mind me asking).

Remember to post those pics when it arrives..

Would make a great Christmas to get it on time for you.

The frame's been welded and shot blasted today!
Had to take the donor bike and wheels up today Arggghhhhhh :-)

Sorry to be a bore, but whilst I was at Rourke today, I saw a bike with the same frame build as the one I'm waiting on just being finished.

The top-tube caught my eye .....

If it's good enough for Matt, it's good enough for me!

The Garmin colourschemed one looks lovely. If it's available in a small/x-small I'd be happy to borrow it...
