Hi all, just sharing some pics of my new Genesis Day One Disc. I absolutely love it !! Comes with a 46 18 gear ratio. Looking forward to many relaxing and gruelling rides on this sweet single speed machine.

Cracking bike!!

Looks nice. I'm not jealous. At all. Honestly!

Are the wheel nuts standard or did you fit those yourself?

Good question! The old Day One Discs have Allen bolts.

Thanks Pete, if you, I mean when you do you won't be disappointed. Mort, I rushed into getting a geared CX bike over this last year as I was impatient to wait a month until its release, I know that this sounds weird but there was a strong connection, no wait that does sound weird between myself and the genesis that I didn't have with the CX bike. Don't get me wrong the CX bike is lovely and all but between the 2 I know which I'll be riding the most. Ha ha Slioch Glasgow yes the wheel nuts came as standard.

Lovely!

How does it ride? The spec says its pretty heavy - does it feel it, or do you not really notice. I was all set to get one a few weeks ago but they have sold out of my size (60cm). What sort of riding are you going to use it for?

Cheers

Dave

I can see the point for the rear wheel but why not a QR skewer on the front? I suppose (answering my own question) if you're carrying a spanner for the rear, you might as well have the same fastening on the front.

It was positively lightweight until he put that Brooks saddle on

A nice looking bike but don't think a fixie is for me, but I'm sure you will enjoy.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She rides beautifully, comfortably, and so solid. I didnt think I would but can definitely notice the difference in feel between the steel frame compared to aluminium. As for the weight no it doesn't really feel heavy when riding, but comfy as anything with the Brooke's saddle I'll be riding road and light trails, tow paths etc. There are some nice cycle routes here in Derby and surrounding areas. I'm already thinking about my next ride

Cheers Andrew I'm pretty stoked with it. "One gear to rule them all" as they say on the Genesis Website.
