With the continuing demise of the road surface and the increase of potholes, I'm starting to feel a different bike for the commute would be a better idea than my road bike. With my birthday coming soon, I feel I deserve something nice and shiny after cycling through this stty weather. Needs to accept me 6'5" (112kg) mudguards & rack, and would prefer discs brakes to keep them out of most of the detritus.

Opinions on the below and any other suggestions welcome, thanks.

The croix de fer is exactly what I was about to suggest: they're great bikes.

CdF is a classic bike for year round cycling in the UK.

Have my eye on a Ti bike with discs and carbon wheels.
