My Genesis Croix de Fer

A little hard to photograph, it's darker than it looks in the first photo.
And sort of a semi-gloss/matt finish

noice

That's nice

Awesome

Just perfect.

Looks great. Paint the pump!

Pump matches the silver of the racks so I'll leave it. Hopefully will get built on Thursday, went to see my new rack today, thankfully my Big Top rando bag first perfectly on it!

I wasn't going to make new decals for it, but having been to see a John Carpenter film tonight I suddenly feel the urge to get some white ones made in the Albertus typeface.

Who's building the new rack?
Don't worry I scrolled back and found out.

Might actually go for some kind of norse font

Much more fun

I could also get Phil Collins as a head tube badge....

I think the Albertus looks better, more classic. Norse feels a bit try hard?

Obviously I also approve the sentiment of the Albertus sample.

Go with Genesis own font. Anything else is def trying too hard.
White decals and brazz head badge will pull nicely away from the surly look.
Then years down the road, when the bike regained it's scars you'll have the bike you dream of

I agree on the head tube, but I've never really liked their typeface it's too heavyweight for me. I might go for nothing.

What is this, a bike for hobbits?

What will the decals say?

Just Genesis probably

Norse fonts remind me of the Rawland stuff.

Dig the John Carpenter font.

Not tempted to get something mor exotic?

feeling the norse typeface, have you seen this, came out fairly recently.. it's a bit simpler.

Just Genesis probably

Which one?!

I'd have to go with the clean lines of the font used on the Hipgnosis-designed Lamb Lies Down on Broadway cover, myself.

clearly, or

Obvi

Ah I knew someone else had a norse font, couldnt remember who!

Like what?
