Best road bike for £1,000?

[skwerl]

Having now completed my quest for a new £1k bike I've ordered a Condor Fratello ( in yellow!)

http://www.condorcycles.com/fratello.html

In the end the allure of a steel frame and something slightly different was too much. Such a comfortable ride too.

So goodbye to endless web searches, agonizing over the web vs LBS and Carbon vs aluminum choices and hello to groupset wheel and tyre choices.

Sadly it won't be built until early Feb so plenty of time to worry about the minor things

thanks to everyone who answered my silly questions.

Roll on Feb!

Good man. I'm planning to get one (most liklely in boring grey) when our scheme re-opens in March. Sounds like I should order well in advance. Was planning on an Ultegra SL with hand-built wheels (Open Pro on SL hubs probably)
