Any decent frame deals anyone's spotted?
I'm on the hunt for a new frame as I've cracked my Hi-mod Evo 
a could repair but by the time I've repaired and repainted I will be into £400 on something I won't 100% trust.
So as I'm not as flush as I once was I have a reasonable budget of up to £1k for a frame ( I understand that's a lot for many). Has to be carbon and 'race' geometry. Rim preferable as I have all the bits but potentially disc as I have an Ultegra disc bike I could downgrade to 105 with a bit of man math.
I've done a lot of looking but nothing grabs me! My other option is to wait it out and see how low the 2018-19 Evo frames go as the new bikes are out.
Anyone seen any bargins?

No new frame bargains to report (sorry), but you may be better off getting a deal on a bike and selling the wheels, groupset and finishing kit as-new on eBay. I recently paid a couple of grand for a Cervelo S3 and by the time I'd offloaded all the bits I didn't need (including my old Cervelo R5 frame), it ended up costing just over £500. Obviously, your cracked 'dale won't be worth as much as my not-cracked (but still pretty biffed-up) frame, but it will be worth something... if you can be arsed with both the disassembly and the selling.
