I've been bit by the gravel bug too.
Not that this is gonna happen anytime soon, but if I had to choose, I'd have a hard time picking between a more road-oriented Hampsten SB and a more dirt-oriented Black Mountain Cycles (especially, the new San Francisco-made one).
I already have road bikes, so that would point me more towards the BMC, but the Hampsten is so damn smooth.
Can someone tell me if the BMC Monstercross has a sloped top tube?
