You could build one to your own spec with that budget. That way you could have the frame of your choice, (old Peugeot for example).

I've just built THIS as an example of what you can achieve

If you go down the build route, I've got a 2011 58cm Voodoo Limba road / cyclocross frame in white.
Comes with carbon forks and integrated headset. Will also include a tiagra front mech. Looking for around £160 posted.

Let me know if interested and I'll get some pics organised.

Cheers,
Andy

what about a Specialized Langster ss/fixed?

 

[lukesdad]

why would you wnt 10 speed for a winter hack, everything would wear much quicker.

10 spd would give me the option to stick my wheels on.

Gazelle 'A' Frame - Piet De Wit - 531st - 56cm x 55.5cm
Rear spacing 130mm

Lovely green and grey paint with just a few blemishes namely on the seat stays below the rack bosses and a chip either side of the seat tube (all pictured).

Nice long wheelbase with very long horizontal drops and mudguard eyes plus rack bosses. This will make a great winter bike.

£120 + £10 postage
