I have a Croix De Fer and whilst it is a brillinat bike, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it for touring if you want to fit racks.
As an all day, do it all road/cross bike it is lovely. Very fast, stable, maybe a bit ‘long’ out of the box (it was for me anyway), but it feels solid and the spec is good. The disc brakes are far better than Shimano’s previous forays into cable discs and work brilliantly with the drop bars.
Like I say, it feels long, so try before you buy. Mostly to do with the long stem I guess. I use mine for a long commute and it ideally suited to that. Oh, and the carbon forks aren’t your usual flimsy road jobbies – these are proper solid forks – the legs are about 3/4″ diameter at the dropout to support the disc brake – they don’t “twang” like a ruler and are as stiff as a stiff thing.
