Any suggestion on a cyclocross frame in white?

The Surly CC would have been perfect but it is not available in white anymore (only black and gravy). It would be nice if the frame had braze-ons for fenders and/or a rack.

Material: steel or aluminium

Price: around EUR 500-600 or less

You're only choosing a frame based on color?

Why not get the best frame that fits your needs and then hit it with Powdercoat or paint?
If you got the Surly you could braze on whatever you want and then paint it white.

If you can find an 09 cannondale CX9 they come in white. White is faster anyway and looks better muddy.

This will probably get me in trouble, but what the heck. I thought only my wife bought a bike based on color.

Very nice bike. Did you buy a frameset or the complete bike?

Thanks...I bought the complete bike on a deal from a buddy that's a Masi dealer. I ended up stripping almost everything off the frame except for a few Masi bits (saddle & headset is all I recall). Sold the rest to put towards pretty much a total redo. Would've been much easier to just buy the frame in retrospect. :lol:

BTW - rumor mill has white getting swapped for red this fall on the CXR...I think black will still be available.

That's one of the sexiest CX bikes I have seen on here. Is it a steel frame and fork?

I wish their steel frame bike came out in something other than sh*t brown. Seems like Surly and some of the other makers are hot for boring colors. Oh well they're still great bikes.

I've seen the steelie in person...it's actually a really nice root beer color but I like that color. It comes in a really nice red too...
