I bought a complete bike in January, Surly Wednesday, and I picked up a Surly Bridgeclub frame 2 months ago. I have a friend who is looking at a Cotic Escapade, they are not offering any Shimano drivetrain options just Sram.

I've heard Summit in Aber have good stock of Trek at the moment, so might be worth an ask if you haven't already...
EDIT: they're shipping to UK customers too

They do have quite a few in, but sadly nothing suitable in my size. Cheers though.

Was just browsing the Cotic website, again
They have XL Jehts in stock, although components are in short supply so full bikes have a delay
(They also have smalls in stock)

I've managed to pick up two bikes in the opposite sizes of XL ( Cannondale) and XS ( cube) for my son and daughter in the £600 hardtail range from sunset and tredz.
Was in framed cycles in llanberis the other day and he has got a good few bikes in his shop. He recently bought 20 different Marin bikes and they've all gone bar two. Hes a nice chap Alex, very helpful and no bullshit.

Yes, it's at the bike shop to collect tomorrow.
It was a case of knowing what they had ordered but not pre-sold, rather than deciding on something specific.

Yup, got a Nukeproof Digger Factory a couple of weeks ago.
Lovely bit of kit imho.
