    it was in 2012 though.. :B

    I believe you still can roughly. During the Prudential ride I met up with one builder and he does steel for £500 but the prices creeps up a lot higher when you go for more expensive steel tubing such as Columbus Spirit and it goes to £1,500.

    I have the Equilibrium and it’s brilliant. And bang on your budget. Not sure why£449.99 appears not to work for you when you have said under £450?
    And not sure what’s unclassic about it?…..

    I bought a complete bike for £1000 with Tiagra groupset and not so great wheels, added mudguards and gatorskins and I love it. I would’nt hesitate buying the frame.

    It takes long drop brakes though, I think, which may not be what you are after.
