buy an IRO or BLB own brand frame, same factory I've heard, probably decent (if you want a track frame)
look ok too:
£175? for BLB own.
OR come up to OCW in oxford and choose a 2nd hand road frame for pittance, and respray it at armourtex.
then think more about components, spend more on wheels and your drivechain, as these are what stops you.
Halo OTP are really good value for money IMHO.
or get someone on here to build up a set after buying the components (or DIY):
Option 1: HIGH end: Up to £400.
Goldtec/profile/ phil wood
Either Aero section wheel:
CXP33/ Deep V/ DP18
or box section:
Gotta be Mavic Open Pros
Med End: (up to £230)
Gran Compes + any of above
Low End:(up to £150)
SJS/ ambrosio/ On one/.... ( I like on one- they seem better for some reason>?)
Drive chain, Get a decent chainring- convert a road crank
goldtec, Condor, TA.
Thats the majors.
