Right, action time. The plan was for the Genesis to be chopped and turned into a full size cargo bike, but being realistic I have nowhere to store a bike that long under cover. Going to go with a cycle truck style now, very much influenced by the ratty GT Palomar @McFlyCustom has made. Shouldn't be such a problem to store. Drawing it up, rebuilding the jig, and ordering tubes this week.
Build will be 20" front/26" rear with slick tanwall Maxxis tyres. Need to build a disc (probably dynamo too, anyone got any experience with the cheap Shimano ones?) front wheel. Most bits will be from the existing Genesis build, plus a spare SRAM 11spd X01 drivetrain I've got. Pretty set on guards too, any work around to save buying two sets due to the differing wheel sizes?
Had a ride to the Brown Clee in the slop on Saturday morning, haven't been up there in ages and the Genesis really was great to ride, the perfect mucky weather bike.
