reynolds 853 or scandium. I am pals with the sycip boys and love what
they do, granted they are out west in Cali but they have the cross
fit and ride dialed. Certainly IF or a local guy like Zancanto or
Igleheart would be cool. Vanilla is offering something cool this year
called the Speedmark or somethings. Its a production run of 853 with
some cool cross bits. That would be what I'd spend my cash on the
Vanilla production or a sycip. I'd say no to carbon rear end as it
kicks the price up a bunch. Make sure you get the cross bits: top
mount cable routes, a front derailleur pulley etc.
