If you end up going to Keep Pedalling, it's the mechanic there's bike :P
They also stock Genesis now.

Cheers. Thought so. Going seeing Mr Rourke about frame on Sat mornin, he says it shouldn't be too much bother, just needs a quick look at the frame, and would set to 135mm as a matter of course.

Just spoke to the chaps at KP, suggested the 26" Dt fork is very tight for mudguard, but 700c fork @ 390mm should alter head angle by only 0.5°. Nothing too severe in that. Once Mr Rourke says wether he can do it or not, I'll give KP a ring and get one ordered. Cheers Andy

No need to cold set rear dropouts, it's a steel frame, xt hubs went in without too much struggle. Cheers for advice on forks, will find a stockist locally (probably keep pedalling manchester) and have a look at forks.
Thought about a new genesis, but I'm kinda glad mine didn't sell, they don't seem to be doing the 853 anymore. Will alter and ride the shit out of it.
@andy_k that would be much appreciated.
