thought i'd drop on the back of this - some good suggestions but no clearance info.
i'm looking for suggestions for a frame which will handle like a racer (not tourer) but still take 700x50 tyres.
to build something like this as a complete all rounder - it'll let me go against the n+1 rule , i.e. n-1:

with option to have 2nd / 3rd set of wheels for fast road / more knobbly off-road
will 2013 specialized tricross frameset fit the tyres? one is going for 100 gbp i can have - also anyone tried this does it handle like a racer?
lighter and cheaper is better (as always) look and material are of no consequence sloping tube / allu / steel / compact etc all no probs any suggestions? tried an fx7.6 the other day - very racey, very light, never checked the clearance before i sold it! - high end marin specialized hybrid frames maybe?
