I hate to say it but I have a couple of good bikes. TCR-C and a Boreas. TCR is CF and after a lot of sorting- it is a good ride. Now the Boreas- It is not good- It is Superb. Lightweight aluminium frame that is engineered.
I am not saying that you should go Boreas- but look at the high end Frames that are around. Custom built CF is not readily available- but it is there but Custom built Ti- Steel and Aluminium could be a way to go.
