I love it. That sale price is half of what mine would've been new. There are no components where they've skimped excessively. Alfine hub is great (just make sure to adjust it (super simple process) a couple of times as the cable stretches or it jumps out of gear ALL the time). Paint job is tasteful. Do it.
My review is still around if you can be bothered to read my waffle: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/active/recreational-cycling/11744366/Genesis-Smithfield-review-a-commuters-friend.html

Ha! I have read that review already today, didn't make the link to your username. I enjoyed it, good work.
2 things I'm struggling to find out are the number of gears and a geo chart. From what I can find about them the top tube ctc tends to be 25mm longer than the seat tube but can't actually find sizing for a 50cm.

A trip over to Halifax today has resulted in a very happy mrs TM!
It's the one you linked. What a lovely bike and what a bargain!

Off topic but what do you think of the bike?
The one in the link is the perfect size for my Gf and wondering if it would be well suited to a bit of cycle touring we have planned in Holland this summer, looks ideal.
How do you rate it?
