Hi all,
I have a stock Genesis Flyer and am largely very happy with it. However, I want to customise it a bit without breaking the bank.
Here's what I'm thinking of:
converting to fixed (16T cog, maybe switching chainset over to 1/8 - is it worth it?)
getting a Brooks saddle (not sure which one). Don't find the stock one comfy, think it's too narrow for my sit bones.
replacing the bars and tape (Brooks to match seat?). Never use the drops! Can someone recommend alternatives?
getting clipless pedals and shoes (not sure which, I'm new to all this!)
Removing the decals - is this possible?
Thanks!
John
