Rourkie is a reputed builder.

A lot depends on the material, type of joint method, extra bits - internal cable routing ect.

The polo guy's are getting steel frames for around £300-400. Ryan of Spring break is a frame builder, he owns/runs Oak cycles. There's Ted James. There's a lot around if you look. There's a site where they give you a list of prices for each part, you then add it up and that's your price.

Hmmm, something to think about. I'm always gonna be on a tight budget as it is, but as I can do most of the semi skilled, and simpler skilled work myself, it might be worth looking into.
Wouldn't want any extra bits, no cable mounts, no rack mounts, no rear brake mount, nothing, not even a seat clamp, super clean. Would like it made out of high grade steel (853, maybe 953?) fillet brazed, with an integrated 1"1/8th headset, track dropouts with inbuilt chain tensioners and an oversized push-fit BB.
I want a pure, light weight, no thrills, super stiff pedaling, but comfortable (without sacrificing pedaling efficiency), steel street bike.

Yeah... that'd do it! ;P
