Disc brakes are dead

That’s nice and added to my folder of inspiration for a practical year round cdf.

Is there a parts list buried somewhere in this thread? In particular rack, bag, rear light? Also was there a reason for the quill stem or is it just aesthetics?

Or better yet, just get a 137 basket and attach it to the rack, thus bag can be loosen lower and stabilised in the basket.

Before you get a carbon fork, please be aware that your Croix de Fer may have the shorter fork than the CX length one that usually come as standard nowadays.
