• I don't think you'll finde many stock sizes that live up to your criteria and have level top tubes.
    Personally, I don't really mind a sloping top tube. Especially not if it gets you a bike that fits.
    You aren't going to notice it while you ride either.
    Re: the CXC, I don't know if you are aware, but it is built with track or track-like geometry with very steep angles, so might not make much of a mile muncher, if that's what you're going for.

    Marin Four Corners might be another option

    Or a Nicasio
