Planet X Kaffenback build under £1100

??? Umm, I disagree with this. It takes 24 hours to get a frame and groupset delivered off the internet, and a couple of hours to build it up. Plus you save a packet buying parts yourself eg, my Kinesis 5T built up with mirage came in at £700. The same bike built with tiagra is £925 from a bike shop.

Unless you pick up a series of bargins. A OTP often only cost's as much as the separate frameset+groupset+finishing kit. Its almost like you get the wheels for free. Because individuals cant come close to the buying power even smaller companies like PX/ On-One have.

I like to shop for bargins and select every single bolt. So I build my own. But, I've never managed to save money on a equivalent OTP*.

(*latest build was a suspensionless, gearless, 29er for around £1.3k )
