In reply to sarahkeast: It depends on whether you mean a true cyclocross frame - which generally have no mudguards, pannier mounts and are stiff as a 15 year old in a skinflick, or onr of the modern "crossers" which come with all mod cons. Selling your ti frame could land you with a fair wedge of cash to get a really nice frame - your groupo can be reused especially if it has light use only. There's loads of good brands out there that would suit you - steel frames are much less harsh than alu for long distance riding and will give a similar feel to the titanium although heavier. Whatever, get disc wheels as cx cantilevers are pap, and if you really want to do some offroad makesure that the wheels are good and strong 32 spoke wheels - 18 spoke jobbies last all of 10 minutes off road. If you get disc wheels, you will need a higher spoke count anyway. Brands to check out are Salsa, surly, on-one, genesis, cotic amongst many others... as I say for what you would get for a ti frame, you could build yourself a really nicely speced bike...
