Neither the Kepler, CdF, nor the Sequoia is the kind of bike you can go fast on (althought it didn't stop some people being able to), the geometry is focus on stability than outright acceleration.
Bike like the carbon Diverge, GT Grade, Genesis Datum, Jamis Renegade to name a few, will fit your description more.

Cheers Ed.
I get that and to be honest i'm not sure any of them are the kind of bike I can/could go fast on. I guess fast is always relative though.As per my first post I am looking for a bit of a compromise and require a few bits of luggage include a child at times and so why I posted in here. I am leaning towards the CdF but wanted to check in with the forums' expertise I'm not barking up the wrong mountain pass.

Thanks for these. Will take a proper look.
I'm not attached to discs but it seems that's what's mainly being offered on this type of thing.
My gut is that bikes lime the Croix de Fer and Kepler are slightly closer to the geometry I am used to, and actually have just come across the Specialized Sequoia which is too. I am trying to work out whether something a bit more relaxed geometry-wise will feel too upright for me day to day as i still want to be able to go at relatively fast clip when I feel the need.
