Looking at the VooDoo Limba with its sliding drops, but wonder if there is something else that I might have missed...

Looking for lightweight!

Any ideas?

Cool, looking for something more high end.

How high do ya wanna go? You could always have a frame custom built for you, or have track ends retrofitted to most steel frames.

EDIT: I failed to notice that you were looking for an off the shelf bike.

Do you mean by, "sliding drop outs", track ends like on a track bike?

It's probably a good idea so that you can change a good variety of cogs for any given race terraine. I am not sure what else you may be missing.

Is there some reason that you're not looking into having a shop build you a bike from a good frame and components? It sounds like you'll be dropping some serious coin on this bike, and I think that you might be limiting your options by looking only for an off the shelf bike.

The image above is from an ebay listing (http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Voodoo-Limba-53cm-cyclocross-bicycle-06-scandium_W0QQitemZ110034794251QQcmdZViewItem) of a voodoo limba.

The sliding dropouts are unlike anything that I've ever seen before.

Should have clarified: off the shelf frame. (i.e. do not want to go custom for dollar reasons.)

I will be building the bike myself:

Ritchey WCS Fork v. Easton EC90 CX
Phils laced to ceramic Open Pros
Paul Levers and Cantis
Thomson seatpost and stem
Selle Italia SLR

Unsure about bars. If I go drops, I will get some aero levers.
Plain ol' Race Face LP cranks.

In other words, is there a frame like the VooDoo Limba that I am not seeing?

Have you looked at the Il Pompino (http://www.on-one.co.uk/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=5&MMN_position=4:4)?

Edit: Oh, you're looking for sliding dropouts and lightweight. This may not be the bike for you.

Looks like it has to be the Limba...

Dollar reasons? I need some dollar reasons like yours!

Most of the parts are already owned. But, yeah...
