I'm TRYING to snag a cyclocross bike off of Ebay but the price has run up about $350 in the last two days. Soon it'll be wa-ay out of my price range. I don't really have a "range" to speak of but I'm trying to justify any price increases for the bike before jumping.
I think steel is the way to go as my Cannondale seems to be really beating me up on the rough pavement lately. Ti is nice but I don't have the mucho bucks to spend on just a frame.
