Missed out on the CRC turners going for £799
Caught wind of the new Cotic Hemlock though it's not a Hemlock and way out of my price range from what is being guessed/bandied round.
Then someone suggested a Titus £899 looks pretty similar and looks like its carbon.

Any more options or just go with the Titus.

Anthem X ?

Buy a complete bike for £899 and sell the bits on it?

I've had an FTM carbon since Easter-ish & had an Anthem (original, not X) before it. I transferred pretty much all of the rest of the build over apart from the forks of course - 140 Talas on the Titus. The Titus feels only a smidge heavier, a bit slacker & has way more travel - it feels a far more capable bike (in my unskilled hands) and not a lot slower on twisty stuff.

I can't believe they still have these left for a grand, only good if you're a large and have a 160mm fork though...

Just a few hundred quid more will get you onto a 2011 5 spot at Merlin if you pull your finger out!

My Mojo Ibis SL, second-hand for £1,100 🙂 Failing that get the money for the Turner from Merlin.

20% off frames and bikes at Merlin right now. Enter Bike20 as the code. What does that make a Turner now?
