I got lucky on the used market (Pinkbike), and found a good build (2x11 Ultegra mech/hydro, American Classic wheels) on a little-known brand, Taiwanese-built CF frame for $1200. I bought it without test-riding, and it's been great for me. As I said...I got lucky. I spent about a month searching many different used bike sources, including local. I was close to pulling the trigger on a lower-spec Giant for about the same money when I came across the one that I ended up buying.
