My Genesis Croix de Fer

Bit like a geared version of this?

Make sense, build up my BMW like that sanse gear.

The all city didn't cost me a lot, I can lock it up without worry.

So the All City is the Phil Collin to your Genesis!

That would mean buying new brakes and shifters, as I'd want full hydro. I'm happy with the current setup.

Exactly, sensible pedals so I can ride in ped shoes. Will be going back to clipless on my Genesis.

I wanted a bike I can nip to the shops on, go to the pub with and commute on in dryish weather.

It'll be replacing my track bike which currently serves those duties, but without the need for special shoes.

what bars are on the All City? I'm looking for some a bit more shopper and less MTB for my junk yard

Try Gusset Stash. I am pretty happy with mine. Still feels a bit mtb..

My bars? No idea parts bin. Look on sjs, there's loads of cheap ones.

Went on a mini tour to Suffolk.

Lush. Such a classy bike.

Luvly. Can we have the close ups now pls?

I made the mount out of some brass tubing

Nice hack.

Put my rack on the All City too #racklyfe #racksonallthebikes

Will take proper pix this week. Still trying to find a reasonably priced Tubus Tara in silver. This Blackburn is just a placeholder.

Any issues with the front mudguard striking the downtube mounted bottle? Eagerly awaiting proper pics.

Can always fit a smaller one.

That all city is awesome. Did you make the adventures sticker yourself?

Not that I noticed, I've ordered the a tubus tara now, so as soon as that comes I'll take some proper pix.

Still slightly tempted to put drops on this, but I probably should do on my all city instead...

Ta, it's fantastic to ride, really very fun.

The adventure sticker is from the guys at SBC cycles, but I think it was the last they had atm.

The all city is so fun to ride in considering putting drops on it. I've got the bars, stem and shifters. I'm almost tempted to upgrade the Genesis to white ind. Cranks an X9 rear mech then pop the drive train from that on this. I saw this which has inspired me a lot.

Drops on the Genesis please!

that is the fittest bike I've seen in months

😍😍😍

If I do, that'll mean big spends on wither sram S700 or TRP Hylix with bar ends.

Full hydro too good to give up.

I've got Gusset Stash bars on my MTB (formerly on my town bike but I liked them so much I switched them over). Love them.

MFW I realise you're not talking about my bikes...

Brakes on the all city?
