A little of the old and a little of the new, our classic Croix de Fer means you can have it both ways. Our Croix de Fer 725 delivers a refined ride quality and for a modest weight penalty, keeps the pricing keen. Reynolds mandrel butt and heat-treat this alloy so that thinner walls can be used compared to non-heat-treated steels. Updated to modern standards, you can now officially run our original adventure bike with up to 42mm tyres on 700c rims, or 47mm tyres on a 650B wheelset. Importantly, we’ve kept standard QR dropouts so your 9mm wheelsets can keep turning for another few years. A trio of bottle cage mounts and threaded bottom bracket combine to make this Croix de Fer the quintessential adventure bike.
