Nashbar Cyclocross Frames?
Anyone have any experience with these or can give me some insight?
I looking to build my "ultimate commuter" from the bottom up and this seems like it might work pretty well for the purpose but I wanted to see what other people have experienced with it.
Suggestions on other frames with similar clearences (able to accept a mtb hub in front and rear) and prices would work as well.

i just got one of there mtb frames for $69.00 to do the same,building it up would up costing me some money but i went with some new parts instead of useing old stuff i had laying around,if you get one look over the frame closely,after i had mine all built up i noticed a weld that will need to be fixed but i am not to upset as i will ride it for a few months while i repaint my main commuter bike and then strip this one down and rebraze this weld and probally add some fender and rack braze ons that were missing.
