OI!!! I'm not having that

You leave my Spesh Allez alone!! It does have nice blue tires now... does that make it any less boring?

Better with the blue tyres. perhaps you could get some handlebar tape and a saddle to match.

Or maybe red tyres and accessories to look a bit like the picture above ^^^ nice!!!

Just had a quick look on Evans and they have an 1885 frame in Celeste/white with Campy for £999

That looks like nice bike...I have the Bianchi catalogue and looked up in there...it looks very cool in celeste with white saddle/bar tape and white logo backgrounds...oh man...now I'm confused again...should I perhps go for this one instead of the C2C frame???? Also it comes in a 63 as well as just the 61....and for an extra £50 ish notes...hmm...which is the better bike??? The 1885 TB hydro carbon campagnolo veloce 10 sp double or the C2C via nirone 7 alu carbon shimano ultegra 105 10sp compact?

...Help??? lol!

What would the esteemed panel recommend in the way of £1000 steel bikes?

I have my C2Work voucher and want a new road bike. I find most Alu is too harsh, Carbon is cheap but I have long term doubts. Ideally I would like titanium, but as previously mentioned they start at around £1400.

The Condor Acciaio at £1100 with 105 is the only one I can find. Custom builds are majorly expensive.

Any suggestions? (apologies for slight thread hijack)

oh man...now I have seen this

for £999...I like the white frame & it is in the same price area as the bianchi via nirone c2c alu/carb '08....dunno about the spec though...they seem comparable to me...both got carbon stays and forks...reckon it's better or worse than the bianchi???

Have you had a look at the Planet X Kaffenback? You could pretty much build it to suit your budget...
