    I’m looking for something a bit different, I would like something to handle commuting in all weathers, can potentially be a tourer (I know!) if required and kind cyclocross(ish) bike, steel would be my choice so it can last and handle anything? I like the Genesis Croix De Fer or Charge Filter Apex. Any opinions welcome please!!!

    No experience with the CdF,
    No experience with the CdF, but I’ve had the apex for a little over a year now and it’s handled a variety of conditions and terrain very well, with minimal maintenance required over around 1800 miles, never even had a puncture! Though that’s got naff all to do with the bike :-). Only issue I’ve had is when the bb5 brakes need tweaking, it can be a bit fiddly to get them biting right again. It’s served me well over lots of commuting, plus a few events including RideLondon without issue. Would recommend it as a decent all rounder.
