Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately not in London any longer. The PX Sheffield show room's only about an hours drive so it's not to far to go an have a look. Although the tubing looks pretty slim in your pic, so maybe I can save myself a trip. I take it you rate the bike highly? Seems the best value around at the moment and Ti's the dream. It's to replace a Van Nicholas that is the best bike I've owned, but has irritatingly tight tyre clearances.

I know their not particular fashionable but I like the looks of most current Ribble frames. I think I paid about £450 for 725 Norco search frameset from Evans last year, another decent value steel frame. The only that made me question the aesthetic PX ti frames, was that tubing looked a bit oversized in their photos. Think I am going to get a Genesis Volare if I can find a large in stock anywhere.

Unfortunately those Tifosi frames are not in my size. Of all the reasons to think that Boris is an irredeemable cunt, an increase in bike prices has to be the most mundane.

Just checked that, doesn't seem to be much stock of anything around at present. Think the most sensible solution is probably to ride what I have until the covid cycling boom dies down and we have something approaching frictionless trade.
-
Bit wary of spending big on ebay and not getting a warranty or being aware of previous crashes.

Have been considering a Planet X ti for while, but not entirely convinced by the aesthetics. Had originally bought a Ritchey Logic frameset but it arrived with a damaged fork, which may have been a blessing in disguise looking at the current price of groupsets. It's a real ball ache that bike24/Mantel etc will no longer deliver to the UK.

What's the forum approved sub 2k (fastish/not gravel) road bike? I'd prefer steel or titanium but beggars cannot be choosers. Having a nightmare trying to find something that represents value in this current climate.
-
Not sure the warranty will cover what appears to have been a bang to the frame. Going to have to get some car touch up paint and ride with a gum shield.

I tried they topped out at £30.
Above and beyond with all the pictures thanks. I can live with some ugly welds as long as they're structurally sound and it rides well. Think all things considered it still represents decent value and I'll probably get one unless I can find a reduced Volare frameset, thanks for the help.
