What about the Nashbar X Cyclocross frame for touring? I know I may sound like a broken record for those who saw my other posts but I'm I'm still brainstorming the idea of touring. I can upgrade my current MTB commuter but I also would like a road bike for club rides, centuries, etc. so I could kill two birds with one stone if I build a touring bike: good for touring and club rides. But I like disc brakes So I was looking at Kona Sutra frame for $400 on eBay with fork. But the Nashbar frame is $120 and another $80 for fork - that's 1/2 the price! And it has fittings for rear rack, etc.
