best frame fit for me costs between £700 and £1500
Are you just going to buy a £700 frame immediately, without looking at all the options? Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of cash to throw about without being damn sure it's the best value I'm going to get.

Kinesis Racelight 4S in 48cm, job done.
Stack: 523mm
Reach: 365mm -
Sure, look at the options. I'm not suggesting spunking a grand willy nilly. But something like that Kinesis would be an excellent buy. You'll be able to use that for years.
Then relax and take your time to find the perfect frame with all the options you need.If you rush in now, you know there'll be abetter option in a few short months, so may as well wait for that.

seriously, all this talk over the minutiae of frames this, di that ... bed wetting! It sounds like the most important factor is fit and availability, followed by price. So seek out frame that meets your fit requirements. Buy and build, go riding. Even if you still had a 10 spd. mechanical group on it you'd still be able to train and be fast. You'd certainly lose a lot more by not riding.
Don't repair the frame, you'll never fully trust it again.
