Cyclocross = cheap, fun cycling
The Genesis Day One - it needn't be spendy. Catch one if you can.
No sooner had I written a blog about how expensive (but fun) cyclocross can be than Genesis Bikes send over a Day One ‘cross bike. We’ll be reviewing it later next week, but I’ve just been out for a quick shake-down ride and came back smiling. Yes, it’s only got one gear – but I seem to be lurking near bottom gear on my flash bike most of the time. It’s a few pounds heavier, but this entire bike costs less than my Hakkalügi’s rear wheel…
Look for our ‘Impluse Buy-ke’ feature next week on this bike. Don’t believe us? Since this bike turned up on Tuesday we’ve been on the phone had two more turn up and all of them are sold to Singletrack staff and contributors. Three of them sold in a week? Does that make us ‘Dealer of the week’ or something? 
More after the weekend. Now, dare I race the Bingley ‘cross on it next weekend?

Do it!
There’s a great review of these on road.cc
There is? Where?
Did you race it, and if so, how did it go?
I’ll be out at the Bingley ‘cross this weekend I reckon… Might need to ease the gears off a little – it’s currently a fine commuting gear – which certainly isn’t the speed that I race at
agreed on the gear – i’ve got a 2:1 on mine now. the tyres are a bit gash in the gloop too, swapped them for some proper jumbo knobblies befitting my frame. haven’t raced it yet though… next weekend
any news on that review? i m thinking about getting on of these.
C’mon ST crossers, let’s see what you can do with it.
