Cannot beat Canyon on pricing - £639 for an Ultimate AL SLX frameset with stem and seatpost - even less if youre a BC member or other club member under their "sponsorship" deal (if they still do it, not checked if they do and if the AL is still on there as frameset only option but it was last year)
Had an Ultimate AL myself that i built up with DA, Rotor, Hed Ardennes and got down to 6.8kg without going mental weight weenie. Brilliant bike that i smashed all over Switzerland, Germany and France last Summer. Was nippy as hell and a great climber but just didn't compare on the flat and deal with speed as well as previous bikes - perhaps id just got fat and slow..
Going back to Carbon this season and hopefully gonna have my mucky little paws on an Emonda SL veeeeeery soon....

Right, my last frame has cracked and I may possibly have £1500 to spend on a frameset and wheels. Im just about to start racing, so not going for a carbon frame.
I'm leaning towards either a bowman palace frame or the canyon ultimate AL SLX. Does anyone have any advice on which to go for?
For wheels I was thinking the arc 31 ultrawide wheelset: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/arc31-ultrawide-wheelset.htm
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
