Curious as to why not? I can understand people's concerns about hookless, I was just wondering why you wouldn't buy hooked?

I agree the path is awful, but according to Ordnance Survey it is a footpath and thus a public right of way.

The CAAD10 frameste is exactly 800
http://qwertycycles.co.uk/collections/caad/products/cannondale-2014-caad...
Its also lighter than the Planet X carbon thingy.
CAAD10? not sure if it has internal cabling, and whether you can buy the frameset on its own. I've just built a 61cm CAAD8 from the very cheapest model (£420) with OK-ish kit and it is 8.1kg. I think the CAAD10 is naturally much racier, and a good 3-400g lighter. And it gets great reviews.
actually, maybe too expensive, since it doesn't come frame only. Just under £1k for the 105 version..

The new Kinesis Aithein sounds tailor-made for you. Alloy crit racer, don't be fooled by the material though, a clubmate has built it up using full ultegra (so not exotic super-light kit or anything), the bike weighs 6.9kgs, and the frameset only costs £650!
Kinesis gran fondo. It's light, comes with seatpost and headset too. Can take mudguards and rack if you wanted, and you're unlikely to see anyone else riding it.
What kind od bike are you building?
I've only got the one so it's got to bea commuter, tourer and for club runs and audax too. It does all of these and all I do is swap in a pair of lighter wheels for the club runs.
Canyon Ultimate AL. Brilliant bike.
