i am looking for some recommendations on a first cylcocross frame. i am am looking for something to replace my rain road (Ti) bike that i can then also take off on fire roads, etc. i will do a lot of road riding and climbing on it, so i definitely want a roadish set up and want to keep it light and quick w/o spending a ton of $. most folks i have spoken to have steered my away from a Ti cross frame (flexy and not noticably lighter).
i like the look and weight of the new '04 salsa las cruces with its salsa carbon fork and wonder if anyone has any feedback on it. on a more macro level, does anyone have direct experience with scandium cross frames? i already ride a steel road frame and something different migt be fun.
on the steel side, i like the look of a (used) steelman eurocross - hard to find - and maybe the dean/ionic digby. what other lightweight steel frams would people recommend?
thanks in advance
