I been searching for next winters bike and after deciding on a singular swift I suddenly remember my favorite brand Genesis.
they had there new 29er on display at the London bike show last week and i fell in love.
the model I would be after is the alfine 11 but may go for frame only and custom build it on a alfine 8 or 11.

Oh look they changed the name from the prototype :) Seems that calling a 29er Singlespeed a "Solitude" was not a good idea!

Wondering what the fork rake will be with the slack head angle...and it does tie you down to their forks if it is something odd (like the 50-55mm I would imagine it is)

Shame the website is soooo sloooooow :(

SSP

I think I read it as 40mm, im wondering what weight it will finally weigh in at.

that looks nice!

but.....is it just the photo (or maybe my baby-induced fatigue) or is the seat tube squished in the middle???

If you change your mind back I have a large swift 5 months old hardly ridden for sale. Frame and uncut fork still in the box. Impulse buy I don't really need.

ahhhh.....i've now read the details for the frame and understand the squished bit!

Hi NP, if it's still looking for a home and would fit a 6 footer, I'd be interested..

reckon its perfect for 6 footer, no sizing help on site though.
I'm 5'11 and its fine to large for me
