ebay ebay ebay.
my advice would be to think about building one yourself, it'll let you get to know how you put bikes together and you'll be able to customize it exactly how you want. takes a little longer becasue its not straight of the shelf but its well worth it. of the shelf ones usually arn't worth it.
if you wanna do it on the cheap you could just get a road frame and convert it. they're cheap. i was riding a Raliegh with reynolds 531 tubing and it only cost me 20squid for the frame.
as for spraying i've always gone to armotex cause they charge £40 for a matt colour and something like £55/60 for anything with a laquor. but check the frame sprayers thread for help on that one.
london bike shops will charge you top dorra for anything you buy so before being tempted just to buy something give ebay a quick once over.
hopes thats some help.
