Hi guys, I'm in the market for a kind of in-between bike. Basically, it'd be a light touring bike or a hefty cyclocross bike. I want a decently aggressive geometry for city riding, and don't need to haul massive loads all the time (so no dedicated touring?) but I also want to have enough mounting points to run fenders and racks whenever I want, and to be able to run larger diameter tires (so, there go most pure cyclocross bikes). Any suggestions on where to start?
Bonus points for taking into consideration the following: I ride 62", based in US and would prefer it to be below $2k.
