A reluctant sale of my trusty Genesis Criox De Fer is uppon me Its a size 56cm and has had a few upgrades. It has also had the full strip down and rebuild before this listing which included a New BB, New chain, I rebuilt the rear wheel onto a new "Whyte" sealed bearing 4pawl hub due to the original Shimano one not being worthy of a service. This included new nipples(brass).
The front wheel has been serviced, so has the headset and all the cabled/outer replaced with good quality Avid "flak Jacket" for a super crisp and hard feel. The pads were new not so long back so I didn't bother with those.
The spec is a Tiagra 10spd with BB7 disc brakes (160 rotors). Its a 34/50 chain set and a 12-30 cassette which has proved loaded rides uphill easy enough. Again the shifters are not 105 but I honestly can't tell the difference with this new style Tiagra. Apart from the standard shop floor spec, I have changed the stem for a shorter 70mm shimano PRO stem, Mudgards and pannier rack added, tires swapped from the continental cross tires to a more road/audax friendly panaracer 28c cross towns. I also didn't like the idea of the unbranded poor sealed headset, so that was swapped for a Cane creek 40 sealed bearing one.
I bought this bike New in October 2012 and have just serviced it to sell. So it is not that old and is in tip-top cosmetic condition. I have the original owners manual and receipt. Words cant describe how good this bike has been, it's super versatile and adaptable to pretty much any type of riding.
Any questions, Don't hesitate to get in touch, I don't usually check the internet too often so a phone call wont go a miss. Oh, i forgot to mention the bike doesn't come with bar-tape. I didn't put any on at the end of the service and haven't had chance since.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
