Yeah- couldn't say no at that price.. I test rode the Arkose with Shimano Hydros- absolutely awesome, best road brakes I've tried by miles.
The Arkose will be part commuter, part CX for knocking about the countryside and having fun.
As for parts list I'm undecided. Budget dictates cable pull discs for now. not sure on drivetrain ATM. Erring towards SRAM x something rear derailleur and a narrow/wide ring upfront. However I have centaur cranks and cassette, so could perhaps use those. Campag rear mech are £££ though

Thanks Chris & @Chak
That's a great price for the frame. I paid 300 only just over a month ago... Feel although I've been ripped off now lol.
I've just pulled the pin on some Shimano RS685 Hydro brakes and shifters along with some Ultegra mechs. Plus some 38mm crabon clinchers for racing season. I'll be using it for racing come autumn then an all rounder/tourer come next year.
What's your plans Chris?
