seem every time I suggest this I get flamed but here goes: LEADER 720 TR. For a $160, its a pretty good deal for a light and stiff frame...very cool finish and nice welds. The geometry is road-ish but I think the reach is a stretched. head tube angle is road, feels really nice when down on my aerobars too. I ride mine in half and full centuries and its awesome.

Also when looking at frames, I would go with a threadless tube, I find the quill stem/threaded headset to be like noodles when climbing or sprinting...but if you want some shock absorption, maybe you want the threaded.
