What can £700 get you...?

A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

You could go to Roberts or Witcomb's and get one made for less than that. Depends how much of a hurry you're in, and what materials you're after, etc.

Maybe butlers will have a 20% sale again that would mean you could get a decent bike.

How about Sylvain's rather lovely Sunn Titanium for £750 with complete Ultegra groupset?

OK, it's a 54cm, but it's got to be worth a test ride. If I can sell my Basso, I'll buy it off him, and I'm sure he'd rather keep it in the Addiscombe "family"

It may not be too small - even though it's a 54 it seems to have a long top tube...Sylv says 'effective top tube' is 56. You could always get a longer seat pin to raise your saddle, so if the top tube length is right for you you could be onto a winner. I'd say it's worth taking a closer look.

Team DFL are flogging off their team bikes - Trek 1500 with ultegra for £750. Might be worth a call - contact details on LondonCycleSport.
