Ok, so should I build up a bike or by one complete? I'm liking these two.

Will I be able to mount racks and fenders on either of these?

And what about the soma double cross? http://www.somafab.com/doublecrosspix.html

My buddy is a mechanic at a local bike shop that carries Soma and Kona. I could easily have a Soma built up there.

I'm a fan of Kona myself, but I think that the Specialized TriCross would be the better bet.
The Kona will take a rear rack, but I don't think that it will take fenders (at least w/o being inventive). Also, it only has a double chainring up front.
The TriCross frameset is spec'd to take a rack/fenders. It also has a triple chainring up front. If you live in the Eastern part of TN, then you'll really want the triple.
