Aluminum bike w/ Carbon seat stays and fork SUGGESTIONS

Looking for the lowest (relatively speaking) level of bike with an
aluminum frame that has carbon seat stays and carbon forks. I see
that Trek has the 2100 with this setup. Any other brands/models
appreciated.

You might be able to find an '03 Klein Q-carbon still around. Listed for
maybe $1100 (?), so maybe in $750-800 range? (The 2004 models changed names
somewhat, but same basic ideas.)

Check out excelsports.com and see if they still have any of the K2 Mod5
frames on closeout ... frame, fork and stem only $700 and it's an awesome
frame. I built mine up with a bunch of old spare parts and I love it WAY
more than my Trek 5500!

The 04 Specialized Sequoia I believe has the carbon seatstays and
fork. There are two or three levels of this bike available.

The higher levels of this bike have carbon forks, but I didn't think
they had carbon seat stays.

I know of the Iron horse Victory and Intrepid '03 and '04
(www.ironhorsebikes.com),
and performancebike is selling the '04 Tirreno Razza 1000.

I see '03 Intrepids at http://www.bicycleblowout.com/RoadBikes.htm for $930.
The other two are probably closer to $1200.

The lowest level Sequoia does not have the carbon seat stays, but from
the Elite on up it does.

Thanks for the correction; the last time I looked in detail at the
Sequoiah's was for the 2003 models (and there were only 3 of them back
then).

The Fuji Roubaix has them both on the 04 model, about $1260 MSRP, but
Performance Bikes was listing it for around $1100. My bike shop didn't
have it in yet, and I went with the '03 Roubaix for the clearance
price.

Marin has one. As you go up their line, they go to a steel triangle...
