Fair enough. If I had a spare brown envelope of notes I'd go for:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genesis-Volare-853-Reynolds-853-Road-Bike-Frame-Full-Carbon-ENVE-Fork-2014-/171448068108?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Fragrances_Women_s_Fragrances_PP&var=&hash=item27eb19e80c853, Enve fork and brand new - that would put a smile on anyone's face

Oof. Wouldn't mind, like.
I've just returned home after being at the in-laws and tried to get a grasp of my bike situation.
As it stands, I'm probably selling my Maxi Sports 58x56 SLX track frame and a 'dale R600/800 frame (with normal, non-extended dropouts), a 56cm black CAAD X frame and fork and some C Record era Athena cranks, mechs and shifters as well as some campag 8 speed hubs to open pro wheels.
If anyone is interested in any of that lot before I list tomorrow, hit me up. I'll do pictures when it's light in the morning.
What seeing that list does do is make me realise I can fund this build with parts I'm not even using...
(Though that kind of defeats the object somewhat)
I think where it fits in to my life is as a replacement for my cross bike (which is very, very occasionally used on unpaved roads, no racing...) and my town bike/child carrier. I don't think a carbon road frame fits the bill and a carbon CX frame won't have the mount points for luggage if I decide to so something bigger on it.
