Our friends at Embrocation posted a commentary on flat bars for cyclocross that is dead on. A few of us Vigilantes have been tearing up the SS category at Cross Crusade with flat bars and the rest of us SS guys have been talking about switching over. With flat bars, the bike is one step closer to a 29r rigid MTB when things get technical or you want to fly over barriers. But it's still a 17lb cross bike that feels faster than any MTB should. They're not the best for all cross races, but damn they're fun.
