I'm gonna add the Soma Smoothie to my short list. The compact geometry makes it a good choice for me (short legs and 5'7" and ride a 50cm Cross Check). The Traitor is just too tall... even the 53 will be too big. The All-City Mr. Pink looks so nice. It hasn't been around long enough to find used frames, but I may bite the bullet and swing that direction.
I do keep coming back to the Pacer though... it's just the perfect affordable steel road bike.
Hardy - Why were you leaning toward the Soma before you found the Traitor?
