• Been looking for 'one bike to do everything' after downsizing from 3 bikes to 1.

    I was going to do a Waltly Ti build but they didn't reply to my emails after 3 weeks, so I did some extreme man maths and picked this up custom Croix de Fer Ti for a good price.

    It's been great fun in gravel + road modes so far. Massive faff fitting the guards but done now.

    Ultegra groupset with a dura-ace crankset (which is complete overkill for my needs so might swap that out. )

    But they is mighty sweet and don't seem to suffer from catastrophic cracking problems like the Ultegras. At least not as often. I'd keep it - matches the black graphics.

    Mind you, it'd look even sweeter with the silver/black Dura Ace rotors rather than the silver/silver Ultegra ones...

  • I was pondering the ultegra vs. Dura ace thing. Given the construction is nearly identical, I think the difference in reported failures is probably just a selection effect? Number of units that get fitted to bikes and the cumulative hours of use?
