Great info Dave. I'm about 6'1" and 180. My road bike is a stock Calfee Tetra Pro. It's a 60 cm and the geometry is here. A picture of my bike is here. I'm running an 11 cm. stem and my position is pretty stretched out. I guess what I'm looking for is something like you've described as your MRB. Does well on the road and isn't too out of place on the occasional fire road or singletrack.
Looking at the calfee geometry it sounds like your bike's bottom bracket is a fair amount lower (1.2 cm) than the calfee. As far as fork rake and head angle, it seems like your bike has a considerably more slack head tube. I don't know what the fork rake differences might be - but it seems that most cross forks (I probably won't go custom because I'm trying to keep costs relatively low) come with 45 mm. of rake.
Thanks for the feedback - it's much appreciated - and I like your philosophy about how it all comes out in the end. For me as a consumer, there's nothing like good will between myself and a company I might do business with one day.
