To address some of your questions Dan, carbon would be fine to be ridden all year round and it's generally robust enough to be carted around in a bike box/bag.
Personally I'd go for titanium, but that's down to my own preferences. When it comes to comfort there's not much to choose between carbon and titanium, especially if your avoiding very race specific frames.
Thanks Andy. Can you shed any light on the difference between the two VN frames I posted? (Mistral and Euros)
Smallfurry that Velocite frame looks lovely, and the low-key graphics definitely appeal to the graphic designer in me :)
I am most tempted by the Bianchi though, I am a whore and an Italian bike will always win me over :)
