I'm leaning towards the Jamis. I'll probably sell my Trek 1000 to help fund the CX bike. Until then, I have an old Giant hybrid frame I was given I may build up (it uses cantilevers and will take a much wider tire than the 1000 will handle and would probably be more functional), though it would literally be a frankenbike as nothing would match (though the parts are compatible). It would be functional but the bike equiv. of the old Johnny Cash song "One Piece At A Time..."
