I'd just buy the best one you can (or are willing to) afford. Trek for conformity, Spesh for flash and Orbea for a touch of class

Depends what you're looking for- something stiff and racy? More comfort/sportive-oriented? If you have some decent LBSs, I'd go round them and try a few bikes for size. +1 for Chris's suggestion. Spending a bit more for quality is always a good idea. My pick would be a Viner, but like Chris I'm biased!

Id go up to 2k at a push, how good is Pinarello FP2?

Boardman? Heard lots of good things about them.

Kouta make beautiful bikes. A Kebel or Kharma could be had for £2000 or less.

Yes I can! What size do you need? If it's a medium (54cm) then just change your frame and fork by buying my Wilier Mortirolo F+F from me. These fine Italian carbon steeds retail for £1650 new.
