Ok, so to start off this build thread I'll give a bit of background. I built up a Genesis CdF a few years back with the objective to build a modern disc braked rando/light touring bike. However in the past few years I've realised I'd like something lighter with more tyre clearance. I never really used panniers on the CdF so luggage ability isn't an issue.
Fast forward to the present and I was browsing the On One website not long ago and saw that the Bish Bash Bosh frameset was on sale for £375... An absolute steal as it usually retails for double that. I'd had my eye on the bike for a while as it whet my appetite and just pulled the trigger when I saw it on special. It ticks a lot of boxes with 15mm and 12mm thru axles front and rear, internal cable routing and good clearance for 40c tyres.
Plan is to build it up with my old Campagnolo Athena Carbon groupset, TRP Spyres, dynamo lighting and setup tubeless. Here are some pics of the frame, more pics here http://smutpedaller.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/betty-part-1-new-directions.html
