If road racing is what you're aiming for, what about getting those cheap Ribble instead? like the Ribble 7005 Ultralight Racing for less than £300 (1350g frame weight and BSA bottom bracket), or the carbon Evo Pro with BSA as well and external cable routing.

I currently race on a 2008 CAAD 8, by far the oldest bike in the field, not that this is a bad thing. On paper the Viner f+f is 600g+ lighter and I'd assume a little stiffer too (straight seat stays vs not). I'll check out those Ribbles but they win an award for worst product description ever..
"Ribble Evo Pro Red Frameset" and that's it.Another option is to replace my weighty fork, that's an easy 250g saving right there.

Thanks, that's really handy to know as I can bide my time on this.
It's for road racing so no bigger than 25c needed. It's the only half decent frame I can find for the job that has a BSA BB. Should be a straight component swap from my current bike.
