Sorry, I'm bike shopping (yipee!). I spoke with Lawrence yesterday, and it's his training ride with the Kingston lot, so he's a no too.

Not sure I should tell you - might bring back bad memories... 
Off to Condor. Looking at the Cyclo-cross framesets, but might be persuaded to go Audax / Touring for comfort. Was momentarily considering the Titanium model but figured I don't want to be single next year! |

I thought you made that up...but apparently not!
Not quite LSST blue, but close enough
I've gone for this frameset with an Ultegra groupset:
Still need to choose the wheels, but have a few weeks before it's ready. |

Are you going to be pro cyclist now?? 
Maybe you should get a Dura-Ace set 
Found an article about the different groupset (I am a novice on bikes):
