That's a shame that you no longer want this lovely bike after working so hard on it.
I run a bicycle sanctuary in the countryside, I am sure that your bike will
Love being able to roam the big outdoors round here.
When would it be convenient for me to collect
PS It's sooo pretty

Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
Hmm, I'm not quite ready to put it out for pasture.
I've actually not had chance to ride it yet. I'll review it once I've put in some decent mileage.
I'm really pleased with how it came out though.

Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
You should be pleased. You have done a fantastic job!
Looks better than the standard online version.

Are they Durano's?
Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
Hi. I understand the blue off the shelf version is approx £1750 with the same shimano 105 11 speed groupset, albeit a non-series crankset and non series shifters. Other difference is the brakes. They may be full hydraulics, where my TRP Hy/Rd are cable actuated hydraulics. My build came in at £1500 and I'm absolutely over the moon with it. It rides beautifully.
Boblo, the tyres are Durano plus.

You can't say it 'Rides like a dream' if you have no pics to show that it has actually ventured onto tarmac
(OK! I confess. I just wanted to see more pics )

Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
I admit it hasn't ventured far. Only 25 miles or so. I'll upload a few more pics for you. I've taken some better ones with my proper camera rather than just my iphone.
Out of interest, I just weighed it and it's bang on 11kg.

Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
The weight is perfect!
You would make me a very happy lady if you said it was a size 52
Looking forward to more pics

Re: New Genesis Croix de Fer custom build
Unfortunately it's probably a bit big for you.
And the bike is the wrong size for you too !
