Haha! I've been lurking silently on your thread as well and spotted your dilemma as well. I just want a reallllly good bike that does everything I want for less money. If I go with the genesis then I've still built one up with a better spec for less ££ than their off the peg options.
Also, you should check this place out: http://pedalsportshop.com/bikes/sale-2015-cyclo-cross-clearance/
They were the ones selling the crux on eBay and the sale prices seem half decent.
The bike room is a reasonable size but the other half takes the view of 'you only need one bike'... I'm starting to feel like I will never buy a frame and this thread is just here so that with each post I make you all feel less daft about your own bike problems...
