looking at the 2016 Maxi CX Comp
Seems like a great fast commuter at a great price point -- crmo frame and fork, all the right braze-ons, reasonable spec, average(?) wheels and disc brakes. And orange! Actually pondering trading in my much-loved cross-check.
Masi Bikes - Cyclocross - CX Comp
Also, am I nuts or is this the exact same frame/fork as the Traitor Ruben?

Add rack, lights, fenders and slicks and it would be an awesome commuter. And the price is pretty good for the component level. The Masi and the REI bike are similar but not the same frame. Among other things, the Masi has top tube cable routing and the REI bike is on the down tube.

Not really a cx bike despite the name. More of a gravel road/adventure bike. But it looks ideal for commuting.
