Thanks, that's a nice looking bike...both are.

I remember seeing that on the C&V forum. I actually have a Bianchi Timberwolf frame in the right size, but it was one if their very low end models, made in China. Not nearly as nice as yours, and without the lugs. Not that it wouldn't be a solid frame...but it lacks braze-ons.

However, I've cemented the deal for the Nashbar frame...and I've found a buyer for the Trek 750. It will end up balancing out, minus shipping on my end. And then I'll need a headset installed and some other frame accessories. But I think for under $200 I can have a pretty nice touring frame, and I can use all of my existing parts without much modification (I hope).
