Looking to switch from hybrid to road bike, but now think a cyclocross would fit the bill better. Able to put on road wheels and keep up in group rides. Able to take the shortcuts and beat the group :). And most important living in the pacific northwest, able to mount fenders. I wont be racing, but i still want to go as fast and far as possible, keep up in groups, do centuries, and ride in winter.

On there is a picture of a a Cypress cross bike.
I have been unable to find any information on this frame, the shop was superbusy when i went to check it out and couldnt get an empolyee to answer too many questions.
Its alu frame, carbon fork, and I can get it with disc brakes and a campy veloce group for under 2k canadian.
I can also get a Vitoli road frame with same grouppo for similar price, and again can find no information on the frame brand.
Does anyone have any experiance with this cypress frame? I cannot find any info on the net about it.
With road bikes the goemetry is either traditional (race), compact (looks like a kids bike with a tall seat post) or relaxed (upright) so where does cross bikes generally fall, or do they also have such a wide range of geometry ?
My other options would be a trek pilot base model, as its also 2k price but not sure how the two measure up to each other. Or for another 500 bucks the specialized Roubaix base model.
Confused and not wanting to spend my budget on an unknown brand.
