Genesis Madison Track Commuter

Always thought these frames had some tarck potential, looking good.
Not finding alu/alu a bit stiff?

what is that on the top tube? also hoods >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Looks rad. Nicely specced too

Cheers!

That looks nice, especially for a commuter. I wish I had bought that frame now, it looks better than I thought it would.

Yeah I mainly bought it because it was cheap, my size, and I liked the colour. Seeing it in the flesh, I really like it.

Don't know yet, haven't done the proper commute, only to my gf's and back. Carbon post and Fizik tape should help. It is definitely stiff, but in a good way so far.

Japanese for "Madison" apparently. Meh, I'm not that bothered, it's a decal. Hoods for comfort, I'm definitely not boss enough.

Laid it down on some wet cobbles this morning. Wheelspin of death. Scratched up the dropout. Nothing major, but pretty annoying on day 4 of ownership.

Douche.

Wasn't my fault. Le pedestrian.

Ah.

You should have 'ended' them.

battlescars are boss!

whats this like for everyday riding?

With a carbon post it's not too jarring, but I'd recommend upgrading the forks to carbon. I really enjoy riding it, stiff without feeling every little thing, and light enough.

Why did I somehow knew you'll be asking this?

Ages ago a taxi drove into the back of me as I was slowing to let someone out. I replaced the wheels with something deep that had gumwall Paselas on.

Today I got @owenreed to cut down my steerer after slamming my stem. After riding about with 3 spacers above my stem for about 8 months. The amount of steerer was so much I could have fellated my bike while in the drops.

The front wheel is unimaginably dirty. The front tyre is actually a gumwall.

looks shit.
