Okay, so I was comparing road frames. Didn't realize we were talking cross.
You can't really compare the YBB to the Mudhoney, as the YBB has suspension and the YBB SL is 6/4 titanium and that tubeset is more expensive across everyone's model line.
Comparing the psychlo to the Mudhoney is a more accurate comparison, and sure 'nuff, you save $100.
Why were you even talking about Merlin, they don't make a cross bike. And neither does Condor. Perhaps you need to be a bit clearer about what you're looking for. For all those voting Litespeed, I'd wonder if any have even seen a Litespeed cross bike. I sure haven't.
