Does anyone have or has tried out the Genesis 2014 Day One Disc? I'm wondering if it's a little too heavy for a single speeder?

For cyclocross? probably, for general everyday riding? nah.

Considering that the Specialized have one of the ugliest fork in existence, I says he managed to distracted you away from it successfully.

Distracted you from noticing it's a felt?

That Specialized 7 post up laner, your tape is barely offensive.

Will it be available in the UK though, Ed? Swobo are taking pre-orders for January delivery in the US, and Charlie the Bikemonger is, I think, the UK importer for Swobo, but will he bring it in?
The trouble is, SSCX is a niche within a niche, and no-one is prepared to risk bringing bikes into the UK market in case it fails. You'd think, given how many Pompinos On-One sell, that someone would chance it.
Raleigh are a case in point, at the Cycle Show last week they were showing an aluminium SSCX frame, with discs and a belt drive, but don't yet plan to bring it to market here, but are gauging demand instead. If there is enough, they might take a chance.

Yep, he's taking pre-orders now http://www.charliethebikemonger.com/swobo-scofflaw-ss-complete-bike-5699-p.asp
It also appears to be made of 531 not 853 and the fork in the photo is a Whisky No7 but no mention if that's what it's actually spec'd with or not...

853 is taken from Swobo's own site, whether 531 is from Charlie.

Someone just needs to make an aluminium Pompino and they'll rake it in.

Natureboy is all out of stock at prices I can afford, anything I can buy for under £400 that's not a pomp but has track ends and canti mounts?
Otherwise I'll just buy a pomp, paint it a cool colour and keep it until something else comes up.

They can easily use their cheap carbon frameset as a SSCX by simply adding the eccentric BB in the BB30, no need to change production, or add new line-up.
@laner worst taste in bartape ever...
