It may be the Croix de Fer’s little brother – but our CDA is still one mighty bike! Sharing the same geometry and legendary handling as it’s steel counterpart, the CDA swaps out steel for aluminium and in turn passes a nice cost saving on to you. For a little more cash, the CDA 20 gets you an upgrade to Shimano's excellent 9-speed Sora levers and mechs. Cable disc brakes and 37mm tyres make it the perfect entry into the world of adventure bikes. The fact that it’s compatible with a pannier rack and mudguards also makes it ideal as an everyday commuting workhorse, or winter training machine.
