A friend is after a gravel bike for £1k or under on the Cycle2Work scheme. Since his company uses the Halfords C2W scheme, an Arkose is not an option. He tried getting a Boardman ADV8.9 but Halfords displayed their usual levels of ineptitude when it came to customer service, and they sold out while trying to make his C2W voucher work. I've suggested a Ribble CGR AL Tiagra, but any better options for £1k or less from a C2W-affiliated retailer would be welcome.
Good suggestion, but the only drop bar Camino in the price range is out of stock with no indication of when it might be back in stock. Might be worth asking though.
