Ha! James was, and I think still is a bit protective of this project judging by the sole, pixellated, cropped image! There's a few tweaks being made and I think 2nd gen. prototypes will be ordered soon. We'll probably start gathering some wider-reaching feedback on these from third parties (press, dealers, etc).

Nope, not an ad as there's nothing to buy! Tis news.

so how different will it be to a saracen? seeing as they both have the same parent company.
or is the genesis just for people with beards?

For real? Whilst I am obviously biased surely the mtb community is better for the direct info we get via the forums? Takinqg my industry head off, I certainly value the trade info we get on this forum as opposed to the sterile forums of BikeRadar etc!

I agree and I was really only stirring BUT if trade people are posting about their own product then that should be made clear.

For real?

yeh - you're prolific si ( ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) but straightforward as far as I can tell

this pseudo-mysterious marketing that's creeping in is just irritating

and, IMO, getting mates/colleagues/fanboys to seed stories about your product fits the same bracket as shill-bidding on ebay and not that far above what "somebody" did when pretending to be a punter & criticising competitors' stuff

I think it's a good* thing that you get designers/ owners / comany people on the forum.
They get feedback we get bikes that people want. Seems to work very well on MTBR.

*as long as everyone knows they have a connection.
