the thing that drives me nuts about the stock CdF is the hydro shimano levers ... ick.
I was thinking of cyclescheming this but the levers ... they literally look like penises
how do people cope?
i want 105 but don't care for hydro

Really enjoying my hydro brakes on my omnium but I hear you. Thinking of getting by/rd for this very petty reason...

I have to admit, I'm quite lucky that my Croix de Fer is the Decade edition, which seems to be the only version which has ever come with SRAM, for which the hydro hoods look fine in my opinion.

they don't, shimano has fucked that design up, people just compensate in reach with shorter stem and/or shorter reach bars

Mine came with RS685 levers - really like the shape, better than Sram and all... and they’re still available/can be had cheap on eBay . Buy and swap?

Love my CDF, think it’s the 2015 30 , 105 hydro and clearances for 42. Such a versatile bike have toured, done rough cross rides, fast (for me) road rides, commutes etc etc.
Great bike all round. An 853 CDF with through axles sounds like an awesome idea.
