Thanks-but not my thing. I want the bike to be good for long weekend rides too.
I use mine for long weekend rides and when I have to choose between the Genesis and my Cannondale CAAD road bike for a long weekend ride I mostly go for the Genesis. People dismiss them for their hub gears and only 8/11 speeds but they have a very useful range of gears and very well spaced so I find 11 speeds far more useful (and easier because you just have one changer not two to deal with) than 30 speeds.
