So I have a hankering for a (relatively) speedy bike, suitable for lots of miles and smiles. Something for the roads, but able to take plenty of cycle path, and the odd bits of smooth singletrack I might spot. I also like the idea of a bike that can easily do light weight bikepacking, and handle heavier weight tours too. I went to my LBS yesterday and they had a lovely Croix de Fer 10 in that gorgeous deep red. Up to that point was thinking of the Croix de Fer 20, but really can't get on with the white frame. But got a brochure, and I'm thinking the Tour de Fer is most suitable - slightly tougher for touring, racks and mudguards, and -most importantly- a triple chainset. I am a pootler, not a racer, and I've only ever ridden MTBs and BMXs, so no super light and nimble road bikes to compare it against... As well as the above, will use it for 30 mile per day commute once or twice a week.

So what's your thoughts?? Thanks!
