Kind of what I was thinking. I have a CF bike for the weekend rides and a LHT for touring. Been thinking about a cheap aluminum bike with fenders and a rear rake for foul weather/commuting. Looking at Fuji Sportif, Specialized Diverge and Cannondale CAADX as possible bikes. But they are all on the high side of what I want to spend.
