So - got a bit too excited and ordered lots of bits for this last week. Now most of them have arrived and I'm almost ready to crack on with it when I can find some spare hours.
Full cost for build now looking like it will come in at 700, which looking at the spec of off-the-peg cross checks which RRP for almost double that I think is a pretty good job. Mine is going to be way sicker (and have two drivetrains).
Will update first post with full spec in case anyone is interested.
I had the same thoughts regarding the RRP of the OTP builds. I was going to buy one on cycle to work but even with the tax savings you end up with a nice frame but relatively cheap parts that you probably end up changing anyways (at least in my case).

So excited to start putting this together.
