Description
Our most popular export. As popular in Scandinavian countries as it is in the UK - it's a road bike that won't get bogged down in the winter, can join in on summer singletrack rides and copes with all-weather cross-terrain riding in a way that few bikes can match.
It's even the holder of a Guinness World Record after Vin Cox rode his Croix De Fer around the world faster than anyone has managed before.
A subtly-sprung Reynolds 725 heat-treated Cr-Mo frame and Cr-Mo forks with disc brakes giving reliable braking in any weather.
With improved, wider, separate rack eyelets it's now perfect for lightweight touring. This is simply a cross-boundaries, cross-continent, 'cross-inspired kind of bike. Wherever you find yourself, there's fun tobe had on a Croix De Fer.
