Any suggestions ?

I'd suggest looking at more important stuff than brand

Scott spark or Genius.

Canyon,

Or buy a frame and build up? Bike scene have done good desks in Spesh frames at the mo.

Trek Fuel EX9.8 29. Or even go Project 1 on it, get the bits you want and choose the paint job. Sweet!
😀

Do you just create these weird threads where you spec a groupset, material and a budget 😕

Do you monitor the whole internet and make sarcastic, unuseful comments on every thread or does it just seem like it?

Lol rocketdog

Seriously though check out the ghost it's a grand cheaper than anything else and leaves you plenty of cash to upgrade the wheels or finishing kit nothing else comes close for VFM (unless you wait for the 2014 carbon canyon but that will be 10months away)

It's not spam, really, but I wonder why these aren't literally flying out of the door at £899.99?
Is it just because they don't have a bolt through rear?

Not the whole Internet, that would be silly, just STW. I find it helps to balance out the helpful comments. What's your excuse?

I know its not carbon, but still some fantastic deals on top end Spesh frames

Brant, any news on a fat front package? (sent an email).

Have you looked at the Turner Czar? Solid warranty and a great frame. Lots of money though and the DW platform isn't for everyone.
