    Thanks Oliver, it was on the west side of Devonshire st just after it crosses Harley st.

    They were made with bike packing in mind, not shredding single track!

    I know, I know - it wasn’t my intention... sometimes you just have to give these things a go. You know what I mean - I’ve just seen a pic of your knee from the Bullheart ride thread.

    If it’s alright I’ll give you a shout after I prime the insurance guys with the list of every part, it’s cost and equivalent purchase value that they’ll no doubt insist on. Then if you could just send an email saying I sold this, for that much on this date, it cost this much new - I’ll forward it on to them.

    Damn you, you swore those forks were the ultimate in luxury :)

    Glad you’re still about - can I grab a statement that you sold me the frame for x million pounds. For insurance purposes obvs.

    After the last one got nicked the building offered to fit cctv but they messed around with implementing it and now it’s 2 for 2 to the bike thieves.

    Tbh though, these guys were pro’s - angle grinder, masks and a no doubt stolen scooter - cctv would be nothing but a pixelated reminder of how it happened.

    Designed by a guy off the forum and made by the decent Chinese custom titanium place. It’s 100% one of a kind.

    Fork was incredible fun but waaaaay too flexy, as I found out on some proper hairy singletrack. Great times, probably nearly died, but great times...

    God I’m starting to miss this bike

    Yup, it’s rocked me on tour around Tasmania and ripped over the Gravel dash... sadly not going to get any more nice bikes for London.

    Still, insurance, which is good - but I’ve only just got through with claiming for the last one though so I’m sure they’ll have some extra questions this time.

    Had two masked moped dickheads pull up outside my work, angle-grind a fahgeddaboudit mini off my bike through a fence in broad daylight and drive off without anyone batting an eyelid.

    If you see this around, now with a carbon fork and Schwalbe G-one Speed 2.35’s feel free to remove the owners knees....

    That’s two beautiful ti bikes in the space of 8 months - screw this city.

    Damn genesis and their weird sizing - frame is now confirmed as a large - which is, apparently, a 58 horizontal top tube.

    I have it measured as a 57 horizontal t/t with a 55cm compact s/t

    ...and I was so close to making this fixed!

    When you’re done stick something in the Genesis, thread I’m fascinated to see how yours will look.
