When only the best is good enough and you want your bike to last a lifetime, it's got to be titanium.
Our unashamed dream do-it-all machine, the croix de fer ti comes with a full carbon fork to drop over a kilogram against its steel counterparts.
It's not just weight though - the sublimely smooth ride quality and unmistakable zing you get from any quality titanium build is present and correct. Not to mention the fact that the raw finish is a thing of unmatched beauty.
Tube profiles are carefully selected and designed to give the new double-butted titanium platform a stiff and efficient pedalling platform, retaining the same connected feel and 'in-saddle' comfort for which the steel croix de fer is famed.
Thru-axles front and rear, flat mounts for disc brakes, a third bottle mount, rack and guard mounts and fixings for anything cages on the forks complete the package.
Finish it with carbon wheels, electronic shifting and ti finishing kit for a lightweight, high speed go-anywhere explorer that gives away nothing to comfort.
Or go for something more understated - or eclectic - the choice is yours!
