cool look

Are, are you being serious? O.o

I've heard mixed things about the frame and how comfortable it is to ride, But the forks always shine as being incredibly stiff...

I'll get Brad Johnson involved in this topic.. He seems to love the one he has/had...

Been using a genesis frame since last June, it's been used for street, natural, shows,UCI world cups and has been spot on. No hint of damage or any weakness shown. The geo is spot on for me, I feel really compy on it. I find its a good all rounder, can handle big gaps, taps and side hops well but still feels nice and 'flicky' good on tech stuff. So yeah can fault mine really. Had a set of genesis forks for a month, so far so good!

I've been on a few.
Not particularly keen on stocks full stop, but these seem incredibly versatile.

One of them is one of the few stocks I actually kinda like, and one of them is the worst abomination ever to have been bolted together.

All down to the spec!

I like mine. The geometry seems to be perfect for street and natural riding and i can even do the odd streety move, ie G-turns, 180's and manuals.

The forks are also really good, they are lightweight, weighing in at around 800g which is almost 100g lighter than TrialTechs.

The standard spec'd Genesis could do with a bit of improvement. The Handlebars and stem don't really suit the geo, the Brake pads and clamps could do with being changed and the tyres are terrible.

Other than that the bike is awesome and only weighs just over 9kg totally standard.

Here's what I've done to mine so far.


Spec:

Genesis Frame and forks.
Tryall 3D stem
Trialtech Highrise bars
Onza cranks (rebadged Trialtechs)
Tensile FW.
Onza Magnesium pedals
Onza BB
Front Echo Tr Rim On Onza Hub.
Rear Maestro Rim on Onza Hub.
Echo Brake Clamps
2011 HS33's front and rear (New seals in each and now they don't leak)
Front 7.5 mm coust pads
Rear Echo CNC pads (which works surprisingly well)
Rear Der kaiser tyre
Front Kenda.

I'm sure issues with how comfortable the frame is to ride, is down to the set up of the bike and not so much the frame itself. The geo is very similar to a lot of popular frames. Which Limey 3 did you have? The black and silver of the white one?

I had white version..

thanks guys for the answers

In limey 3 I love the stiff of this frame..
