In The Beginning: Genesis Owners

Does anybody know what the maximum tire clearance is for the 2018 volar disc ?

I paid £265 on here.

Nice. Thinking of building up something similar with parts bin MTB bits. How is the handling with flat bars? I've only seen the Vagabond with drop bars and was wondering how suitable it would be as a MTB/Town Bike.

it rides well like that - stable geometry and with sweep on the bars like i have its not an aggressive riding position at all.

This is mine with nitto albatross bars. I commute to uni on it every day and it is great!
(edit: I only have pictures of it loaded with touring gear - I don't take as much to school everyday :D )

Nice work. Looks great loaded up.

Thanks! It's just a dynamo hub and lights away from being perfect to me.

28mm.

So...I have slipped a 650b into my equilibrium disc. I know this has been discussed here before.
The front end will require a 650x1.5, which I have in the cupboard and may try to offer up today too. For the record the 1.75 GK does fit into the stock carbon fork but the clearance is far too tight for it to be rideable in daily life.
Any thoughts/feelings/comments on levels of clearance are welcomed.

This is all very interesting to me. What year?

2016

Excellent news. So 1.5" front and rear works fine? What width rims?

He's got DT XR331's that I am now kicking myself a little for selling which are 20mm internal.

Best,

Harrison.

What @hp93 said.
Yep clearance is a go front and back now.

Going to look at a 2016 TdF 20 this weekend. It's basically brand new but with non-OEM wheels and mudguards (so no dynamo, annoyingly).

Anything I should look out for/know about? Seller seems genuine and priced fairly at £800 (is that reasonable?)
