Check out the Riv Rambouillet. It now comes in 50 and 52 cm frame sizes - these take 26" tires instead of 700c

There's nothing wrong with the Saluki, except for the wait time! Although I think they might have some of the smaller frames still in stock, but they have to be painted, and currently one person is doing essentially all of the Saluki paint jobs.
