Check out Terry's Valkyrie Cross. I found the small fit perfectly and I ride a Specialized 48cm Ruby on the road. Handles great and I do like having it to easily go from paved to dirt, even some not-too-technical single track. And definitely do some 'cross races. They are a blast!

I would love to look at that bike and our shop carries Terry, but it's 2-3x what we're looking to spend at this point. I'm eyeballing the Cannondale CAAD8CX Cyclocross 6 and a Redline (I think either Conquest or Conquest Sport), since our LBS carries both of those brands (and I love my Cdale road bike). Eventually maybe I would upgrade, but I already have a pretty sweet road bike that's only a few months old and don't want to be greedy...yet.

My roommate just bought a Fuji touring bike where the frame fits her perfectly but the reach on the handlebar/shifters are too long.
The sales person suggested keeping the shifters (standard shimano tiagras) but just changing out the bar to a Salsa Poco. I'm sure if you found a great fitting frame you could do something similar.
I know a lot of women like the Poco or the Short and Shallow because they come in narrow widths and shorter reach (of course). It would probably be much more effective than switching out the stem.
I too am in the market for a cross bike but can't afford a Terry
We need more bike companies that make women friendly cross bikes!
