My next bike...
...is without a doubt going to be a Fuji Cross Pro.
They really kicked it up for 2007. I get GOOD DEALS through my LBS. Here is one that will blow the consumer away. This is what they SELL the bike for.
$1369
Ultegra shifters
Ultegra FD
Dura-Ace RD
Ritchey wheels - good for commuting, bad for cross
Do you see what I see? EYELETS! They're on the seat stays and the dropouts and on the fork! I am going to sell my Felt F80 to get this bike, because first of all, it'll weigh about the same. Second, I can use it as a commuter and a road bike, and third, it's a Fuji.

I'm a big fan of Fuji bikes, and I think the Cross Pro is a great one.
The eyelets are no surprise...when I bought my bike, half their road lineup had eyelets. Everything except the actual "racing" bikes. But all their cross, hybrid, touring, and sport road bikes had eyelets.
For that price, you can't beat it.

Is it just me, or is that top tube slightly sloping.....forward?

There are definantly some good deals out there. I just bought the Fuji Roubaix for $1250 AND 20% ($250) in store credit for pedals, upgraded saddle, etc. I thought it was a fantastic buy!

Just a note: you may want to change the gearing. I'm putting a triple on the front of my Cross Comp. 39/48 with a 12-25 rear just isn't cutting it with all the hills I do. YMMV.
