Actually I'd like to buy a Condor Baracchi but it will be a lot harder for me to buy, will cost more and I'd still have to skimp on things like wheels to get it in under budget.

I know it's completely meaningless from my point of view but I still consider it a benchmark of when a bike is starting to get properly light (even if it is a rather dated benchmark). I'll be racing...

Because I'm curious as to whether high end aluminium can be as good as equally priced carbon.

Yea, I'm definitely trying out a lot of bikes before I dump that sort of money on one. Have ridden a few so far, but tbh was just wondering if aluminium had improved along with carbon really and...

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't want shimano though which limits the brands somewhat unless I get a frame and build it up.

When you say stiffness-comfort balance, do you mean it's easier to tune which you have or you can have more of both?

I wouldn't choose a metal frame just because it's metal, I just don't have the...

Seems a bit harsh. If you consider spending £2500 on a bike "being cheap" I'd love to have your salary. Good to know that BMC know what they're doing when it comes to aluminium though.
