I just found out the crois no longer has tektra top mount brake levers. I quite liked them, I might add them later if need be.

I emailed Genesis to check and got an almost instant response, great customer service.

Posted on another thread but might be useful here too-another to consider

Specialized Crux 2011​

To sit alongside the Tricross range, the Crux is Spesh's less friendly more competitive cyclocross steed. A lighter fork than that found on the Tricross and internal cabling help to show it's purpose.​

It'll come in two flavours, aluminium and carbon.​

Price range (aluminium only) from £599.99 - £999.99​

Getting info on the Croix de Fere is easy compared to the Honky Inc, I've spent ages trying to confirm rear spacing, wheelset detail, bike weight and max tyre clearance with/without guards. I also found one posting from a guy that took delivery but it didn't come with the Avid BB7 but another mechanical disc.

I'm guessing the rear spacing is 130mm as it's a 10 speed setup but it would be nice to be able to verify these things.

Hi,

Did you try posting on the tech support forum from here. (Note, you need to sign up in order to see most of the posts there - for some reason, if you're a guest, you only see a handful). The tech guy on there is a fountain of knowledge.

Re bike size I am also 5ft 9 and on a 56cm. Lance Armstrong is 5ft 10 and rides a 58 cm, there seems to be a tendency for people to buy smaller sizes for some reason.


I bet you cant wait to get it out on the road now. Good Luck and enjoy.

We're all different sizes, just go with what feels right I think.
You're right, I'm waiting very impatiently

Just in case you were wondering Ben, it gets worse, by the end it'll make a childhood Xmas Eve seem like it flashed by

I'm 5'9 and after fitting at LBS I'm riding a 51cm Pinarello. I couldn't reach the pedals with decent seat height on the 53cm so it just goes to show how different bikes fit you!

ITS COMING TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haha I'm 33

Lol I'm buzzing, and today will fly by because we're going for a 4D scan on our baby who's due in 2 months, so 2 great days anticipated

I'm just crossing my fingers that its slightly older stock and has the tekra top mount brake levers too, they removed them on the ones they're shipping now but it seemed wheelies bought stock a while ago cause all the LBS can't get hold of what I ordered and wheelies told me I got the last one.
