I have been commuting on my Genesis day one for the past 6 months and it’s my favourite bike to ride. Unfortunately it’s a touch too small for me and I should have ordered the medium. Browsing eBay a few weeks back I saw a medium in “as new” condition. Sent the guy a low offer and for some reason he accepted it. I have a train ticket to Bristol to pick it up on Monday.
A few days later I picked up some 650b wheels on here. I had thought about going 650b before and at this price there was little reason not too. I figured that I have to ride this bike 25miles every day so might as well make it nice. I have gotten a bit carried away and ordered the following.
Bontrager elite vc-r bars
Shimano r785 hydraulic brakes (I may try and remove the shifters at a later date)
Whisky no7 fork
WTB horizon 47mm tyres, which I’ll give a go at setting up tubeless
SKS mudguards
Supernova e3 pure front light
Miche track crank with a Shimano BB
Cane creek 40 headset
Pro missile aero bars
I’ll move over my SMP forma, Thompson seat post and speed play pedals from my other day one.
My cheap bike purchase just got very expensive
