It’s taking forever but am pretty damn close to finishing the build on my Genesis Tour de Fer. Just need to decide where I want the bars and add some racks.

Plan was originally for a cheap build using old / 2nd hand parts but decided that the frame was too nice for that so ended up with quite an expensive build!
