My first Habanero frame was their cyclocross/touring frame, which I also love. I bought this frame after realizing that my Lemond Victoire (titanium) frame was really too small for me. Working with Mark at Habanero was a real pleasure. We talked a lot about measurements and geometry before I placed the order; Mark helped me ensure I was getting the right size, and discussed other custom or semi-custom options that I could pursue if I felt that the stock size wasn't going to fit right -- but it does.
I opted for the "Nuevo" version since I slightly preferred the aesthetics of the downtube-toptube intersection with the ovalized downtube. The bike rides great. It's a bit heavier frame than my Lemond, but there's no discernable frame/BB flex when standing and pedaling hard -- in very stark contrast the Lemond it replaced. Ultimately my value-focused SRAM Rival build puts the 60cm bike in at a bit over 17 lbs, which seems pretty reasonable.
One thing I will note is that the seatpost binder on the frame, while very attractive aesthetically, is very picky about the diameter of the seatpost. I had to return a Thomson seatpost that was slightly under tolerance because I could not get it to stop slipping. I might prefer a traditional seatpost collar to avoid the hassle, but once setup, I do love the simplicity & look of the integrated binder. (And in contrast, I had no problem with the first seatpost I grabbed for use on the CX frame I own.)
