Super-X looks super-hot ... but I don't see rack mounts.

I spent a fair amount of time shopping for a light-touring/gravel bike, and I found that most of the nice CX framers don't allow for racks. Moving down the range into Al ups the weight, though. Probably worth it.

OP: Just make sure before you fall in love with a bike it's got braze-ons or pre-drilled rack-mount holes. Some of the CX bikes (I guess) lack the strength in the rear triangle ... a little lighter and more flexible to handle the bumps at speed, instead.
