For the entry level, you’ll get a Shimano Claris 2×8 drivetrain, an aluminium frame and carbon fork. Whilst the 30 model gets a Shimano 105 2×11 drivetrain, along with the aluminium frame and carbon fork. Former professional road and track rider Adam Blythe has a new Genesis road bike and it’s certainly provoking comment, not just because of the gold leaf finish but also thanks to the bulbous head tube. The Croix de Fer is probably Genesis’ flagship bike, much loved by adventurers and commuters alike.
The Day One — its inaugural bike from 2001 — is still going strong as a low maintenance singlespeed with disc brakes and mounts for mudguards. Finally, for the bikepackers, the Longitude is a fully rigid, steel-framed mid-fat expedition adventure bike. During the cycling season we get about a dozen calls a day from people with a Genesis brand bicycle.
After 47 years, the owner of an iconic Easton bicycle shop has decided to retire. The model number can be found on the lower portion of the seat tube just above the crank on a black and silver decal. If there are any issues with your bike, return it for a full refund or receive a replacement bike for free. Singletrack uses affiliate services called Skimlinks and which means we may earn revenue if you buy a product after clicking a link to a retailer on our site. We’ll start by stripping your bike to the bare frame for a deep clean and inspection, then we’ll re-lube inner surfaces and… For commuters and city-dwellers, Genesis has several bikes to choose from.
With a 2×9 Shimano Sora groupset and mechanical disc brakes, there are notable differences to the higher end Croix de Fer. But these won’t present an impediment to getting out and using the frame for the huge variety of applications it has the capability for. Gravel riding, endurance road riding, cycle-touring, commuting, these are all still possible on this bike – it’s just a more accessible platform to get started with. Other bikes might have the specificity to perform better in a single one of these uses, but very few bikes would be able to perform as well as the Croix de Fer in all of them.
Despite being already expansive, the Genesis Bikes brand continues to grow, with the British company striking out even further to the gravel/adventure cross market. We’ve got to say, though, that we’ve never seen anything like the head tube on Adam Blythe’s bike. Genesis cycles are perfect for anyone looking for a hybrid of on and off-road that is comfortable on all day journeys on tarmac or gravel.
Disc brakes remain present, but they have been changed to mechanical rather than hydraulic. The drivetrain is still a performance oriented 1×11 set up and, in all, this is still a competitive racing machine. Due to being disc brake only, the bridge between the seatstays could be removed.
Genesis Bikes are a British cycling brand with a heritage of building the kind of bikes that they want to ride themselves. The kind of bikes that make you dream of your next adventure no matter the size. Since 2001 Genesis Bikes have had an eye for the finer details, utilising the very best materials and always heading in their own direction.
It’s a little bit bling but positivly understated compared to Blytheys.. Which lets be honest, would have been ‘pretty trick’ if he’d not let a pissed up Rob Hayes loose on it. Specialized also launched a Peter Sagan collection with a largely gold frameset a few years ago. As mentioned in the Tweet, the 24-carat gold leaf finish has been created by Fatcreations, a Sussex-based company that has been responsible for countless stunning paintjobs over the years. One year on Vin Cox set off from The Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London.
Genesis build bikes that are simply built to go everywhere with you and do a bit of everything. Take your pick from their range of iconic builds such as the Croix De Fer, Fugio, CDA, Vapour, Datum & more. If you’re in the market for a bike, the lines of bikes Genesis carries offers something for everyone, no matter your level, size, or age. The sales crew is always there with a smile to fit each customer and offer test rides in the parking lot – with a helmet fitting too, of course.
The perfect bike for a Bond villain, or a former British national road champion turned TV commentator.
