Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Good morning,

Are you sure?

This seems to be the frame that you would be getting.

Those are mudguard mounts you could mount a pannier rack on them but the top mount would be asingle point onto the brake bridge which wouldn't be as secure for heavy touring (for which it isn't intended for).

I’ve used p clips for rack attachment on my steel Genesis for 10 years now/12000 miles with no issues (granted no heavy touring but like the Ribble it’s a roadbike rather than a tourer)

Yeap that's another option...

This has got to be the cheapest SRAM chain.

Not exactly a bargain, but certainly a fairly good deal: Upgrade Bikes (parent company of Kinesis UK and distributor for numerous other brands) have a couple of Tripster ATR v3 framesets (in 48cm and 58cm), and a 54cm GTD v2, all at £2000, on their eBay store. Seat tube manufacturing issues on all three..and I quote:
"The seat tube of this frame has been machined at the outer limit of tolerance for a 31.6mm seat post and we have found that they slipped when fitted with a seatpost slightly under 31.6mm. We have supplied this frame with a 31.6mm Titanium seat post and have tested that it does not slip. Sold with full Kinesis warranty ".

You got me looking and they also have a titanium frame/forks at £850,

https://spacycles.co.uk/m11b0s143p3889/

Which means that I could use up lots of the spare bits that I have lying around and it's rim braked.

IIRC it’ll only take max 25mm tyres and possibly no mudguards if that’s a consideration. It’s quite an old racing bike design

They do have other ex display bikes too.
If it were SRAM Etap instead I’d be tempted!!
