A mate wants to buy a whole bike, so I'm looking for options.
He basically wants something like the 456 builds that On One do.
Any others?
Budget is £1000-1400
Genesis have the Alpitude but a bit over budget it seems.
S/H BFe, Alpine?
Ragley has complete Blue Pigs in the pipeline - within budget, though not sure when they'll appear. There's some stuff about it on their web site.

A 456 buld from On One would be my suggestion. 8)
I have a BFe and I love it. for 1400 you could build a great bike, might have to get a few sh parts but it rides so well.
spotted that bullheart but none in stock.
The 456 is the default choice I agree, and hard to beat value-wise. Just seeing if there are some other options.

seem to remember it got a decent review in the mag. money saved can go toward upgrades when bit wear out.
edit.. not steel, but still good VFM.
cheers MrP
That's a candidate.
Glad to be of service.
Personally would buy whole rig second hand - could prob pick up a lovely Soul or a BFe for that kind of money. Would also stick to steel for hardtail imo.
