My Carbon fiber Pedal Force CX2 Cyclocross frame has rack mounts on the seatstay. The bike is light and fast but still handles well with a 25 lb load on the back. It's a great road bike alternative, 98% of the speed but twice the utility. The larger 700x32 tires on the CX2 allow me to enjoy pavement or gravel roads.

The frameset is a good value and you could transfer your components over from your current bike;

The bike will also take fenders and a rear rack.
