Might need to think about a wider range cassette for the Alps trip I'm flirting with...
I doubt they'll be as steep as the Surrey Hills, 52/36 with 11-28 is ample for the Alps, but then YMMV.
I loved the Genesis Volare, it's a fantastic bike until I went over 100km realising just how stiff it is.
Now I can understand why Genesis made the Zero.

A thrilling update - I actually made a decision and got a Zero 3. First impression is that it's a rocket :) Mega stiff compared to my Equilibrium and generally a very smooth ride. Need some crabon cages and to start saving for wheels and other carbon fancies too.
Really enjoying 5800 with a semi compact chainset too, makes a lot of sense for Surrey roads. Might need to think about a wider range cassette for the Alps trip I'm flirting with...
TLDR: new bike day.
