If I were interested in a bike like this, my short list would be:

- Salsa Vaya.
- If I win the lottery, Salsa Vaya Ti.
- Bikes Direct Phantom Cross Ti: http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...ross_ti_xi.htm
- Or, any of the entry-level cross racing bikes -- Redline Conquest, Kona Jake, Specialized TriCross.
