Obligatory get an Arkrose but here goes.
I ride a Croix de Fer 931 frame and mostly do Audax's, 'gravel', camping trips and very hilly rides (I live in Wales). I'm looking at either sticking a lightweight set of wheels on the CdF for road times or changing the frame to a Mason Bokeh. Never have ridden anything like that and don't have the means to test ride.
Only recently moved to Wales and I'm tired of the CdFs weight, in full winter (Dynamo and guards) weight it comes in at 14kg. Looking for something spritely to take the edge off long distance audaxing/rides. Never been happy with it, it's not very exciting to ride but looks great and is comfortable. Do I change the frame, or lose around 300g on a lighter wheelset?
Any advice welcome!
