I'd tend to agree with imoncrank and go custom for that money..
i had until 2 weeks ago (got nicked) a condor potenza which was about £800 and have to say it was a brilliant winter training bike. the geo on the potenza is designed for track whereas the pista is definitely more for road. in reality the potenza has a harsher head tube angle which makes it a tad more responsive, but the toe overlap was fine..
however, now i get to do it all again, i'm building custom this time. the condors are really good bikes, but after a while you'll want to personalise it and end up changing most of the components anyhow.. unless you're using the bike strictly as a training bike then i'd go custom.. also its fun to learn about the different components and you get hooked on ebay !
good luck anyhow..
