I've got a 2015 croix 30, I use it for touring and some leisurely road rides, great bike but too nice to ride through winter. Think it would be expensive to maintain 11 speed and hydro discs in northern winter. Thinking of one of these as mrs TM has a Smithfield based on same frame with hub gear and it's really nice. Seems a sensible commuter. Lots of opinions about hub gear durability / reliability but I think a lot comes from people who don't know their stuff.

That does look good - was thinking about a cdf from the same people, but now maybe not. They talk about gearing down easily too, hmmm.
