My apologies for what my be a tired old question, but here goes anyway.
I currently use a hybrid (Specialized Crosstrail) as a commuting bike for a 20 mile return trip. Like a very slow and dim bolt of lightning I've come to understand that there are some bikes out there somewhat better suited to the roads.
After a number of test rides I've become keen on the Croix de Fer. Now here's my quandary: buy the 2014 version or hold out for the Croix de Fer 10 2015 model? I am a bit of a simpleton as far as the virtues of various bits of bike mechanics are concerned, would anyone care to venture an opinion as to which bike is better?
