Style | Like a regular Croix de Fer, but with a flat bar. Whether you want a more manoeuvrable bike, a more upright position or just never get in the drops, the Croix de Fer flat bar is ready and waiting. Built from Reynolds 725 Heat Treated Chromoly steel tubing it features all the hallmarks of the original go anywhere bike. 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. The drivetrain features a Genesis 46/30T double chainset, an 11-34T cassette and Shimano GRX RX400 derailleurs for reliable, smooth shifting, while the stopping is handled by Shimano's MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. 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. |
