Thanks for the advice. Frame isn't going to arrive for ages so while I have stuff to build it with as plan b, I'm going to see if I can get stuff within budget while I wait, if not I've got a plan.
What is your opinion on bontrager wheels? Duster or Mustang are some I've seen which fit within budget. There's also a set I've seen, wtb i30 on formula hubs which seem ok.
The new wtb and new rebas I can get would be just within my budget. I've got some ethirteen carbon lg cranks to use, finishing kit and brakes are sorted too, and I have 11sp cassettes to use. Only missing items would be gearing, I've got 10x xtr and x0, so not too fussed about 11x unless I pinch some xt from a bike that's too small which I was going to give to my 13 yr old (he's tall), and swap for some slx or deore.
