I don't know how to explain it.
As for the frame the color doesn't matter I can always paint it over. The wheel set just appeals to me.
A geared road bike should make you less tired than a fixed gear/SS bike, I'm not quite sure I understand where you're coming from here. Is it a weight issue? Because the gearing should cover most of your problems with a road bike.
If you really don't want a road bike, go Kilo TT, or Kilo TT Pro, or Dawes SST-AL. All within budget, all pretty sw8 bikes. You can upgrade wheels as you see fit. The Alexrims on the TT Pro and the SST-AL are 30mm deep stock though.
