My Genesis Croix de Fer

Will take better pics in the new year

Rear Light is actually great, three LEDs excellent side visibility

And I'm quite pleased with the bodged light mount, the light itself is fantastic too.

Rides like a big BMX, feels better suited to 650 than my CdF did. Feels a bit odd being so high up but I'll get used to that.

The 700c wheels for the CdF are now built too and hopefully @cake has the new forks. I just need some nice 46-32 chainings for it and I'll get it build in the new year

Frame basically has zero bottom bracket drop

I think that's why it feels so high

Awesome. Proper town cruiser that

Fantastic bike, I'm jelly!

Very cool bike. Is that a rawland rack? Sorry if you've already said upthread.

Thanks all, I'm pleased too

@russmeyer yes it's the big one

Genetic stems - do they have laser etched logos?

Ooo pass, not sure off hand. I'd guess yes

Mine does. Doesn't feel deep though. Might be able to buff it out but that's not my area of expertise.

Talking of which, anyone want this for a tenner? 100mm I think and as new

I never posted a photo of my CdF before I took it apart

I like that pretty much how I want my CDF for touring but with 3x9

Better photo

Super cool, I'm envy. :)

thanks :)

Saddle looks really uncomfortable and front mudguard look it is painted on by Salvador Dali

Multi coloured gear outer is fucking on point tho.

Also, any sexy photos of caliber on disc tab?

Saddle has slipped slightly, needs to come forward and go nose down a bit.

Front mudguard got really warped by me leaving it sit on the floor without a wheel. I reshaped it a bit with a heatgun but its too far gone. However it still serves its function of keeping my feet dry, so i'll only replace it when I get new tyres.

I expected you to hate the outer actually.

One could argue that yellow and white should be reversed

Also, any sexy photos of caliber on disc tab?

Looks alright. Brake caliper clears easily?

ooh, those dropouts are lovely. Actually, the whole thing's great.

Everything my commuter wants to be.

I had to use a 140mm spacer even though its a 160mm rotor, but apart from that its perfect!
