Actually if you're still in the UK and the roads are still the same piles of shit I ride on I'd ignore most road stuff and go for fat tyre gravel kinda bikes that let you run 35mm+ tyres.
Ribble Audax are super cheap (I gave my old frame away), Kinesis 4S have fixed their issues by going to thru-axle so that's a decent option (I raced one of the old ones in 2xTCR 1xTABR). There are blinging frames that do the same thing but I'd rather spend that money on a trip somewhere than on a daily driver.
