I blame Fox for this, but - Sabbath Silk Route frameset for a winter beater?
Mainly because that's the first one I've seen that I can buy within the magic cyclescheme £1,000.
I've a Silk Road frame, it's awesome, feels like a nice hybrid between carbon and steel and is damn light so I don't plan on changing it anytime in the distant future...
that said-I got it on ebay for a pittance with crabon fork from a guy who clearly hadn't ridden it and was 'upgrading to a lynskey'.
I think buying RRP i'd be looking for something a bit more artisanal-from what i understand the Sabbath frames are chinese built (not that I have anything against this per se) and just marketed by the UK firm. I saw a Ti Merckx earlier in the year that just about broke my heart for less than a grand so if you bide your time...
