Kinesis maybe?
Heard of those but don't know anything about them.
I will have a look, thanks.
Nothing but good things to say about kinesis kit - and I've heard nothing but good things about them too
Just been looking at these.
Not a huge range but the Racelight T2 looks like the kind of bike I would want.
Just doesn't seem as good value as offerings from Ribble or Planet X or the Moda Bolero mentioned above but it probably rides really well.
The good thing I've heard are "quality quality quality" without premium pricing
I know people with both their Ti road frames and their CX bikes (and have a set of kinesis wheels that are amazing for the pricetag) and all have lots of praise for them.

They aren't as cheap, I wouldn't say they aren't as good value however.

Moda Bolero - great value at £1k with excellent wheels as standard which is rare at this price:

Reduced to £700 in all sizes here AND they also offer cyclesheme:

Update time.

Thanks to Roman, been in contact and IMO with discount this a bargain.
Got to sort a size using my present Genesis and their geo guide, then hopefully pay a refundable deposit and they will reserve it until I get my vouchers at the end of the year.
Gary from Discovery Cycling have been a pleasure to correspond with.

Nearly 50% off :-)
These must be 2014 models but even then it makes other "clearance sales" look mean.
