My Genesis Croix de Fer

Those forks look great. Where could I get some?!?!

Fair enough. Just assumed getting eyelets put on would be mad expensive.

It is

The one and only Gilles Berthoud is now also available in noir

GB22
GB25
GB28

€200 gesus

The velo orange bag is more or less the same price right?

£120

And dont get me wrong. The GB is HOT

Oh.. In my 'local' shop the VO bag is €180!

I know a man...

You are right. That seems to be the RRP ish. I was just going by the pratical cycles shop on ebay.
I have been thinking about getting one but found something else that fits my needs a little better. But yeah it looks really well made.

I don't want to cause a riot, but are there any good alternatives to a Croix de Fer for an all round road/adventure/touring bike?

Try having a look in the functional thread :)

2019 Pinnacle Arkose.

The Gravel Bike thread is a good source for this.

Did a bit of work today

Obviously need to do much more

Any one able to obtain the geo for an XL CDF? I can't get in the genesis website, maybe it's just my old browser(s).
...Just found it via evans so answered my own question here.

Any long legs got an XL? Are they massive enough?

Going back double?

You're better off asking here

This is just the thread for my bike

Yes, my Scott is a better version of the flat bar and rack build. And I want something faster but functional, I only rode the old build once before my crash.

New name!

Should have known given the title.

Cheers.

Did a fun ride with @Hulsroy yesterday, I've been wanting to visit Tilbury Fort and Coalhouse Fort for a while so I planned a route that took us past and ended up with fish and chips.
Start of the ride was horrible thanks to the shit hole that is the getting out east London, but rewarded came soon enough.

Turned out to be a good test for the bike now I've reworked it. Fast ,thanks to a massive tale wind the whole way, and very comfortable, I just wish I had a proper length HT. G-One All round 35c and mudguards probed to be very capable on the all important gravel. Tubeless tyres also worked well thanks to a patch of very sharp mussel shells and a over enthusiastic dog.

Oh, and we had some unexpected good news, turns out we're gay!
Neither of us knew, but a very kind young man past by very close to us in his Focus RST to let us know in a loud and clear voice. Nice of him to take time out of his, no doubt busy day, to spread the joyful news. Anyway, its come as surprise to us and our partners (especially the pregnant one) and it certainly wasn't what I expected my friend to join me for an 'Outing in Tilbury', but the good people of Essex seemed keen to keep up with the worlds move towards ending intolerance and bigotry, which we'll all be pleased to know.

You have made me doubt myself Jack. Honestly yesterday changed things for me. Maybe I am not who is thought I was.
I really think I need mudguards on my new bike.

I really think I need mudguards on my new bike.

or longer stays?

Ahhh that's already sorted.
On my new one tho. I was not going to mount mudguards, but now I might
