| Description | A thoroughly modern Croix de Fer, built ready for the next decade. Built entirely from 725 tubing, Reynolds mandrel butt and heat-treat this alloy so that thinner walls can be used compared to non-heat-treated steels. This makes it the ultimate workhorse, delivering a refined ride quality and for a modest weight penalty, keeps the pricing keen. Completely modernised, the 725 frameset adds 12mm thru-axles for compatibility with the latest wheelsets. The ability to run up to a 45mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre on 700c rims increase the all-terrain ability of the Croix - and it doesn't end there. If you want to experiment with 650B wheels, you could run up to a 44mm rear tyre and a 50mm front tyre. Flat mounts for disc brakes, internal rear brake hose routing, a third bottle mount, rack and guard mounts and fixings for Anything Cages on the forks complete the package. Whether you're spending the money you've saved on a fancier wheelset, or a long weekend away on the bike, the Croix de Fer has got you covered. Includes frame, fork, seat clamp and thru axles. Headset, seatpost and stem not included.  Reynolds 725Classic 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. |
