New bike time

[middleagedmadness]

The Claris shifters have been fine. I've ridden the bike everyday since getting it and had no problems. The vagabond looks great too but I've got s longitude for the rougher stuff so the cda suits my needs better. I was torn between that and the croix De fer but I'm glad I went for the cda now. I use it to commute and for local rides mostly.

That's my only concern as I have a longitude which I find great and was looking for a new commuter , towpath basher and maybe the odd night out

I think the CDA is perfect for all of that, I'll use mine for the odd night out too but probably use the longitude more for that.
