Looking around for something to race on next year and ALU frames seem to be a no brainer for skint consumer like myself. Other than planetX what else is there in the sub £200 bracket.?

For £150 I got a frame, fork with a carbon lower & alu steerer, headset, seatclamp and the band on for a front mech.
Frame is nice quality and there is just enough room for a pair of Crud Road Racer 2 Mudgaurds, I think you will struggle to get a better deal for the money.
Ebay is your friend.
Picked up a Condor Squadra alu/carbon frame and fork for £150 last month to replace my Lynskey and its a belter.
Cheap and cheerful :-)[img][url= http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8485/8187986494_760d9cbe59.jp g" target="_blank">

I have a Felt F65 in 56cm going.
Kinesis t2 or above, superb frames.
The Planet X frame is brilliant VFM
