I haven't articulated my situation well
I already do a bit of road cycling i.e. amateur events, duathlons of the sort. Nothing major just a bit of fun. I'do more if I had owned the right equipment.
Fortunately I have a couple of mates who already spent £2k on a new bike, subsequently neglecting it after 1500 miles, so I've had access to these (the irony is not lost on me)
I very much appreciate the try-before-you-buy suggestions, but I've already tried and now I want to buy.
Contrary to my initial assumption, it doesn't look like I need to spend £2k to get something decent, which in honesty is a relief. So this thread may have saved me a lot of money already. Thank you..

Get a decent workhorse and ride it to the ground. No point spending 2k in a race bike to find you just want to ride audax or cross
