£700?!?! Have you never heard of the Specialized Langster?
£700 will get you a generic 'custom built' bicycle, with a plethora of dull and oft seen parts, if you approach it in the way you seem to be.
I got this bike about 4 months ago for £460 off ebay.
Took it to armourtex for a respray, total cost £560.
For that I got gran compe hubs laced to very rare araya rims, sugino 75s with a messenger zen ring, DID chain, EAI cog, (repaired) LeveL frame, jaguar stem, B123 drops, Nitto Frog seatpost, and a chopped B17.
That's a bike slathered in NJS for less than your budget. Yes the parts are all used, some of them a bit scuffed, but it still works perfectly well.
