All our frames are put together by hand in batches and then assembled before being shipped over to our warehouse. The Montane Icemen (Pete Sissons and Paul Cosgrove) underlined the bikes capabilities as they used a pair of Croix de Fers to circumnavigate the 1600-mile coastline of Iceland in 14 days. Genesis bikes became renowned for their use of steel tubing and ethos for function over form. If there are any issues with your bike, return it for a full refund or receive a replacement bike for free. The other contact points were all Genesis branded and I think that those are all personal choice, especially a saddle and I didn’t get on with the OEM one particularly well, but it was fine on shorter rides. We recommend noting down your frame number (located on the underside of the Bottom Bracket) and using one of the many online services available.
We’re always looking out for keen riders who are planning trips so we are open to receiving sponsorship proposals to consider.

The main quandary I have is this bike doesn’t quite know what it is. On one hand the bike wants to be ridden fast, through twisty terrain and down descents. Its spec’d with a cassette and a 42 tooth chainring which means it climbs well and has enough gear ratio to keep you moving on faster terrain without being under geared and the cable operated discs are capable enough to stop it. All this results in the fun ride that I have described in this review. On the other hand the mounting points demonstrate the designers want for this bike to be loaded up and used as a gravel / bikepacking set-up, I am not sure the gear ratios match this, as climbing with this bike fully loaded (and stopping going down) might be a bit of a challenge with the groupset ratio and cable actuated callipers.
This is our complete known paint colour history – if it’s not listed then unfortunately we do not have a reference colour available. All colours listed are a closest match, but not exact, to the original and ideally suited to touching up stone chips in discreet areas.
