Show us your steel.....its real...

[SS Retro]

Was fondling some nice Genesis geared steel in a bike shop in Penrith yesterday found it a bit weighty compared to my steel single speed, mind I did then spy a ss cyclo cross bike mmmmmmmmmmm

I'm building it up over the next few days.

Croix de fer frameset
105 groupset with ultegra rear mech
bb7 disc brakes
ritchey classics seatpost/handlebars/stem
brooks team pro ti saddle (black)
Cinelli Imperial Leather Handlebar Tape (black)
Kinesis Crosslight CXDisc wheelset

I think it is going to look good. Once finished I'll post a picture.

the Genesis range are great to look at. i was chatting to a chap with the same frame as you and he couldnt speak highly enough of it.

I have the 2013 Equilibrium 20 and love riding the thing.

Just a shame their customer service is a pile of horse manure

who did you buy it from?

who did you buy it from?

Who I bought it from doesn't matter. There was a serious brake issue with the first model of the day one alfine, I attempted to make genesis aware of it and they didn't care, in fact they told me that it was an issue with only my set up, which isn't true as I know of multiple owners that had the same issue. Funnily enough, the next model they released had a completely different and much better brake set up.

Hello Gaz. what happened then? did you contact Genesis or Madison who own the brand?

i have no connection now with either company but did work for madison a long time ago and it seems strange that they took that approach towards a potential dangerous issue.
