Planet-X is a great choice for around 1000UKP. I like Bianchis but would struggle to pay the extra. For things like the Fred get a compact chainset (34/50) at the front and something like a 28 at the back. Or whatever it comes with and stick a lower cassette on nearer the time - doesn't have to be too pricey.
