custom frame made by me (jacobs bicycles)
thomson elite stem, idb wing bars,
shimano rsx on mavic sup's,
oldschool mavic mtb triple with single 46 ring on a phil bb,
dura ace, cheap carbon saddle
shimano 600 geared bits, cane creek brakes
the prototype "team" cross bike!
already getting rusty, probably won't be getting paint. ever. it's so fitting to have this one rusty and dirty.
these tires are great for running over anything in your path, but i do switch 'em out for something a little tighter for the races.

I really like those Tri-Cross bikes. Those are pretty sharp looking, how do they ride? Are they stiff on the bumpy stuff?

If you need that type of mud clearance, two things are/will be working against you. The rear stays will be packed, and/or you need different tires. I've found that the tires that pack up, also contribute to most of the build up on the frame/fork. Seen it happen on the same frame/fork but with different tires.
I guess Specialized wanted to have the ability to run fenders with 45c tires and STILL have mud clearance in that fork.

Here's my new (used) 2007 Giant TCX. Got a sweet deal on it through EBay. Didn't come with pedals or a seat so i added some Crankbrothers Eggbeater SL pedals and a Forte Classic saddle. The chain was also pretty messed up (looked like it was coated with rust but it's just some really really really bad looking lubricant that didn't want to come off). It looks like the cranks could be new and the rest of the frame is in great shape. Seller said it only had about 500 miles on it.
The only thing i'll probably change later this year is to swap out the V-brakes to cantilevers. Oh yeah, gotta add some water bottle cages, find a way to fit a front fender, and add afew other things to make it commuter worthy (it's going to be my cyclocross/commuter bike).
