There is a thread on here at the moment about an aluminium 456 evo - which is actually a new carbon version.

Last one had swappy dropouts iirc, so this one will surely support 142x12.

Not a great deal as it's just for the winter, but I could be persuaded to dig a bit deeper

It's the thru axle that you are going to struggle with. Unless you get lucky with something second hand, nothing with that rear axle is going to be cheap.

The Privee and Trans am look very similar although the paint job on the Privee is amazing!

You might be better off getting a spare rear wheel if yours doesn't convert to qr?
