I recently bought a second hand genesis longitude (2017) and looking at the drive side seat-stay and it curves out slightly more than the NDS one. Is this to accommodate the extra space needed for the casette? There’s a scuff right at the point of the curve which makes me suspicious that it might be a ding but I realise I’ve never owned a bike that had curved tubes.
I've got a large size version of the latest green one, and the seat stays look like this if it helps. Not sure what the difference is between 2017 though...
Genesis Longitude owners, any help?
