Hey Guys
Thanks for the replies... I'm keeping hold of Frankenstein and doing some small mods (new bar stem to extend my reach) and then going to put my money into a steel frame instead and build a new bike from there and save Frankenstein as back up.
.
I had a chat with my LBS and the guy did say that considering I've always rode a steel frame I may find a jump to an Aluminium frame a step down and that I would have to spend twice my budget for a new bike to get anything near comparable and recommended a a bar stem, talked me out of spending cash with him!!

Thanks again, your comments have been a great help clearing my head. I can now see the Steel for the Aluminium
Funny it was what I planned to do a year ago but obviously got starry eyed looking at new bikes.
