Re: Genesis Croix de Fer - Brilliant or bonkers?

I have one of these and I think it is brilliant. It has everything that I wanted and nearly had to custom build (using Surly frame) including:

1) Steel frame (Reynolds 520)
2) Disc brakes
3) Carbon fork
4) Wide clearance for different tyres
5) Decent shimano 105 group set

I use it for exploring Dartmoor (mostly road use) and training for future competition. There isn't anyhting I want to change until it wears out. This will start with the tyres as I don't need as much tread as the Speed kings have.
