Hi SKM, I have an Aegis Swift with 650c wheels (carbon, made in Maine), but they are very hard to find. It's really considered a tri bike, but I don't have aerobars and use it as a club ride/road bike. I wanted to test ride one but could never find a shop in NC that carried them. I ended up finding a leftover 46cm frame/fork combo on Ebay for 2/3 off retail (but it was a 1999 frame I bought in late 2003), and I had my LBS build it up with Campy Chorus and a compact double crankset. A very sweet bike! I could never afford to buy one off the floor, but Ebay made my dream bike possible for me.
Their website sucks, but here you go:
