mmm, I think most manufacturers would argue that their frames are 'value' regardless of price?

If you're just wanting cheap than maybe secondhand?

That Guerciotti looks a bit heavy, albeit the forks are light, carbon a-head is much better than quill IMO (and Shirley available <£120?).

Equilibrium looks better value but not a pure race bike (i.e. takes mudguards etc).

I will be building an Equilibrium up in about two weeks when they land in the UK. I have a 105 black groupset and a couple of other bits sat here waiting. Trying to decide on wheels at the moment.
