Means you can buy a flash light weight pair for the weekends though, and use the cheap ones for riding over pot holes during the weekday commutes.
Personally I'd contact someone like epic cycles, who sell top name framesets with various builds. Pick the frame you like, and have them build it up for £999, with your favourate brand of groupset (in this case Shimano), albeit a cheap one. Then save up for some lightweight weekend wheels + upgrade the groupset bit by bit (ie. with sale goods, last years models etc.).
The Orbea example above has a great frame but Sora groupset and cheapish shimano wheels.
