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

Hi mate, can I ask how your finding the singlespeed bike ? Especially hills etc. I'm looking at changing my cubecx for one and going steel for all year round use. I live near Lake District so pretty hilly and wanted to know your thoughts
Cheers

Hi - just joined forum although have lurked here for a while when doing research. Realy like your posts here on this bike having just ordered a Genesis Day One Disc myself. I have a regular 15 mile each way commute - fairly flat - between Edinburgh and Fife. I'm a little bit nervous on the sizing as I'm 5ft 9 - short legs (31 inside leg) - I make the standover height but a wee bit concerned my choice might be a wee bit big - only time will tell - (the price you pay for internet purchase vs lbs). You look like you're loving the new bike - how do you find the geometetry compared to other bikes you've ridden? Stretched out or relaxed?

Not been on the forum for a while and only just seen your post.
I ride about 80 inch gearing on steel framed fix wheel bikes all around the south lakes. The gearing is high, but I get up everything except the big passes. I do have a heavier fixed wheel that I reduce the gearing on (about 70 inch) in winter to avoid wheel spins while honking up the steep hills.

Thanks for the feedback, I was looking at a cotic roadrat but also considering the 105 geared escapade for around lakes, into grizedale forest etc.
