Trek CrossRip Elite @ around $1200, with the rest of the money going toward fenders, rack, lighting, bags, etc.

Especially nice is the Shimano dynamo front wheel with B&M lights. However, other parts, like the Tektro cantis, are common round here.

In fact, it's set up very much like my current favorite ride (excepting of course the 5 years it took me to get there...)

It's set-up as a boxed solution for a brevet rather than a CX bike and I think it would make an excellent commuter.

I still think for €1399 it's hard to beat (in Germany).

a fun project might be a drop bar conversion on the original Trek
