The Lemond is a good choice but I personally wouldn't consider a bike without disc brakes (the tricross). The CF components may be ok but do check them for weight limits, if any. I don't think there's been any negative reports on the clyde forums about the Lemond components.

Apart from that good luck and let us know how the search goes.

Some more 700c, drop bar, disc brake bikes:
