Style | One bike to rule them all. The original do it all go anywhere bike is back and more capable than ever before! Commuting duties during the week then epic, multi-terrain adventures at the weekend, the Croix De Fer 20 is a capable and adaptable beast that rarely gets fazed whichever way you point it. The heart of the bike remains a complete Reynolds 725 frameset, defined by its reliability wherever you ride. A few updates add to the Croix De Fer's versatility: the ability to run up to a 45mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre on the 700c rims increase the all-terrain ability of the Croix. You can also choose to experiment with 650b wheels, with clearances for a 44mm tyre at the rear and 50mm at the front. Standard QR dropouts mean your 9mm wheelsets can keep turning for another few years - and the practicalities don't end there. The drivetrain has been upgraded to Shimano's excellent GRX, featuring a 46/30T double chainset, an 11-34T cassette and RX400 derailleurs for reliable, smooth shifting. Tubeless ready rims and tyres, a third bottle mount, rack and guard mounts and fixings for Anything Cages on the forks complete the package. Reynolds 725 Classic seamless Chromoly but heat-treated to boost tensile strength. Think of it as Chromoly on steroids. It's heated to around 1600 degrees Fahrenheit where by a structural change in the steels' crystal lattice occurs creating a stronger, more uniform orientation. This is following by quenching - rapid cooling - to lock-in the structural change. As it's stronger less can be used, so thinner butts are the order of the day, helping to achieve a lighter overall frame weight and livelier ride without compromising strength. |
