Chisels were going at £999 (full bike) as part of sale end of last year .. if that will happen again this year, I do not know.
They also have threaded BB.

Preference is still definitely for steel though, even if alu options might be cheaper. I won't be doing any XC racing so I'm less concerned with lightest/fastest setups. Durable, comfortable, capable.
The Cotic does look pretty sexy though:

What's with all the bottle mounts on the DT though!?"Exclusive Cotic Designed Reynolds 853 34.9mm seat tube"
Does that mean non-standard, pain in the arse to find later on, seatposts?What about Di2? How much is it going to cost me to keep smashing Di2 RDs off?

I guess I'm looking somewhere between Chisel and Fuse:

Was that the 2021 model though? Lots of stuff has changed on that one.

That looks pretty neat and I am a boring Spesh whore (cheap, common so easily replaceable, do the job well). I need to look at Samuli's options to see what they look like but in my head I'm leaning towards a Surly just because I've always like them, yet never owned one. Or that Ritchey Ultra skinny posted. What tyres are you running on that?
