which bike, less than a grand, no giants

[vickster]

Mekk Poggio? Whether you can get elsewhere at that price, I don't know http://www.actionbikes.co.uk/mekk-2g-poggio.html

Planet X SRAM Rival? http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/FBPXPRORIV12/planet_x_pro_carbon_rival_road_bike_2012

I picked up a 2012 Giant Avail 2 yesterday for £700 - there are a few 2012 Giants around the place - but you may need to pay RRP. Mine came from Cyclesurgery, they might have the odd Defy 1 (none on their website now) - my Avail came from another store

Good spec, great price, reputable dealer and full carbon fork and seat stays...

If I had a spare grand on a voucher I'd get this plus a good lock and some roadie essentials!
