In The Beginning: Genesis Owners

Fugio now has rack and mudguard mounts? I got rid of mine for this very reason...

It was straight out of the box in this pic so it's ST-RS505 shifters on the stock bars... In retrospect- yes they look super flat. They are still ugly & always will be.

Aesthetic argument will never win in hydros, they are ugly af, all of them.

Exactly. What other argument is there?

less ball ache than cable discs, less maintenance maybe better braking.

Looks good to me..

Looks like the new Equilibrium Disc has a fair amount of tyre clearance up front. Wonder if the rear end still takes more than 28 c with and without guards as stated by Genesis when I asked them about it a few weeks ago.

less ball ache

The price you pay for radness

less maintenance

I don't do any

maybe better braking

Can't stop, don't want to either

I love Campag but that's probably around 3 grand isn't it?

Is fork on the Volare 12mm thru axle? Also, do people think the frameset will be discounted much or at all by retailers?

4K for a picture of the box they come in.

My Genesis prototype. I love it a lot, but have been having dirty thoughts about selling it for an equilibrium disc (not a new one). It'd be cheaper to have this converted for discs. Thoughts? It fits me perfect, takes 35c tyres, has brazed seat clamp which I like, Ritchey dropouts

Don't sell it, that thing is sick.

It is, but it stops in the rain like I've greased the pads with butter

70 quid and I've got a disc frame. Sounds good to me?

You'll probs find the equilibrium disc pretty heavy in comparison & you certainly cannot fit 35s on it.

28s with guards on mine.

DA brakes w/salmon pads.

Its long drop

My wheels are worn out and need replacing, which is why I'm thinking of making the change now

That has nothing to do with the frame though. How can it?

Because long drop caliper brakes are poo

Sounds like cable disc brakes

I'm beginning to understand how @amey must have felt

Mine work perfectly

Yeah long drops can be OK. Pad cleanliness and compound probably has more bearing though. Also you can't just weld a disc tab on that fork without killing it/yourself can you?

Nice beik btw
