I think that the Masi Randonneur has been mentioned as a less expensive alternative to the NFE by Ed. It's hard to get in Europe ( I think relating to trademark debacle US vs Europe), but eBay?

The Intec M1 I have is very heavy.. It's built as a no-nonsense touring frame.
Rides very good mind, but not excactly sporty.
Also has a 71 degree head angle, so I'd be difficult to go really low trail.I also have a Pelago Stavanger, that I built up from a frameset with the 63mm rake fork, that gives you 44 mm trail.
The Pelago would fit a 2" 650b tyre as well.
Picture is not my stavanger - it belongs to @mankkis
And another 650b Stavanger by @tnts
What size are NFE are you after?
