Ritchey Swiss Cross, Bikes direct, Genisis croix de fer (the latter may be more of a gravel bike).

Yeah, if you don't need the latest frame technology (i.e. if you like steel, lol), BD is a great deal (assuming you are good with bike fit). I had their aluminum cross bike and really enjoyed it. Wasn't any better or worse than any other similar aluminum bike (Fuji, Trek, Specialized), although it cost a lot less. The one above even comes with a nice wheelset. The only complaint about mine was that it didn't have a lot of flexibility in wheel size, but looks like the whipshot above can take 40mm tires.

There are seemingly endless steel offerings that we could throw your way without any idea of if it would be good or not.

I would look into Ti. Lynskey tends to have all kinds of sales every off season (they started about 2 weeks ago.

If just looking at frames, then keep the Hybrids in mind.
I have a 520 Chromoly double butted steel Jamis Coda that I've done a drop bar conversion on.
