The x-fire runs big. Look at the top tube length when determining size, and forget about stand over height! Completely unimportant when looking at a cx racing bike - the x-fire is tall because of a high bottom bracket. bb height is important, it affects cornering handling and pedal strike - comes down to personal preference on how you want your bike to ride.

I love my Salsa Chili Con Crosso . However , you may want to consider if you plan to use disc vs. V brakes. Discs are now legal and stop quicker V brakes are lighter. Hakkaluggi has a possibility for discs Salsa doesn't as far as I know. That said I think the Salsa scandium bike is superior. Both are great bikes no doubt.

I built up 2010 TCX and I was really happy with it. I am selling but only for the reason that I absolutely love my 2009 Tricross because of the more upright riding position and lets face it, everybody has that ONE bike that is just THEIR bike. I recommend the TCX for a frame is really light and really stiff.
