fks Splat's That (some Kuwaharas etc)

that's right :)

they are some old STX ones, filed the bolt tabs down a bit to make them a bit rounder

Very nice

cool! I have the same and have been meaning to get it resprayed

Great biek!
There are some cheap genesis decals on eBay from France. They're either bigger or smaller then the original ones but I like that more than the originals.
Haven't gotten one inch forward with my croc d'aune. Besides getting the aforementioned decals delivered.

Also, may I suggest cheap AliExpress silver jockey wheels? The rear derailleur is a bit too black imo

I spent days making it not look immediately like a genesis

you may, but this is a 3rd-recession-in-my-lifetime build and it's not getting any chinese bling

But no decals make it look a bit ch̶e̶a̶p̶ non descript innit?

But you catch my drift regarding blackness right?

Also. Kritik auf hohem Niveau, as per first statement, great biek

I don't feel slapping some ebay genesis stickers on it will make it more distinctive or interesting. If I wanted it to scream genesis I'd have just left it like it was

it is what it is - a budget rattle can paint job on a frame I got for peanuts, with a random selection of bits

I do yea, but it's a deore derailleur and I don't really mind

Looks sick where you riding it

what do you mean ride it

I mean when you ride your bike like you sit on it and pedal about 4km down the road before coming home and thinking about things you could change on it.

I think I follow you

might get some chips on it tomorrow

This bangs...Silver spokes really suit and you've somehow made those cranks look more $$$ than they really are.

Slightly annoyed you chose the colour I was going to paint my Genesis, but whatever.

there are more than enough creamy beiges to go around

Alright Alright Alright.....

This is great!!

Sick bike, a clean build. Love the premiumisation of those STX cranks.
Just needs that silver seatpost.

Love the lack of decals personally, v “debadged and bagged” look, reminiscent of those tastefully cleaned up Volvos/ Home Counties cars it’s inspired by

Looks excellent! I have three de-logo'd genesis(s) if my own.
Great idea to round over the crank tabs

had a little spin, seems fine tbh

little bit underwhelmed out-of-the-box but then i remembered what it was like when i got it
