If you are OK with mechanical disc brakes, then the Kona Wheelhouse with a Reynolds 853 frame looks pretty interesting too.

There is also a CHROME bikes direct, Reynolds 520 frame, hydraulic disk brakes, etc. Mercier Kilo GX R20. Since the chrome is just a $50 adder, I have to wonder about the quality of the chrome. But still, a modern steel chrome bike for $1049 is pretty incredible.
