  • looking on their website, which has lots of photo's of the new bike
    http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/adventure/urban-cross/day-one-alfine-8

    Sizes52, 54, 56, 58, 60cm

    If they are bringing out a 50cm day one, that would be great otherwise, it will probably prove to be a bit of a ball ache to retrofit an alfine and swap over shifters to the Croix de Fer

  • The other have 50cm listed on their size, it look like the Day One won't be sized down, can give them a call when I'm working next week if you like.

  • cool. give it a go.

  • What are the 8-speed sturmey archer's like compared to the Alfine? Only facts I can find is the SAs are about 200g heavier.

  • Looked in to them years ago - gear 1 is direct drive IIRC. Small wheels only, then.

  • In my experience, modern sturmey = a pretty horrid experience.

  • ^ this.

    Alfine 8 is pretty reliable as well
