[Closed] Genesis High latitude 20 - anyone got one?

I've never ridden one but I bet they are great. However IMHO it's a bike that should have track mounts. I realise that this is probably irrelevant to you but we seem to be entering world where being versatile has become a specialism

Genesis annoyingly always seem to do the colour I like best on the cheapest bike in the range rather than on the spec I actually want (the red CDF10 and the blue High Latitude are both nicer looking bikes than the next models up) I was looking at the High Latitude 20, it's a decent enough spec for the money but the dull grey puts me off (and it looks worse in the flesh than it does in photos)- I am now contemplating getting the green frame and building it up with a deore groupset and a mix of new, secondhand and bits and bobs I have lying around.

We have an older version in our hire fleet. They're great. Will be replacing them this year and feel the same as holdsteady about the colours!

So in short a solid bike with gopping paint! I actually think I like it from the pictures, must be in the minority on that one. Guess I'll have to track down a dealer to check one out properly!

Thanks guys

Just got back from a ride on my 26" latitude and it was dloody awsome they really no how to make a good handelong frame just enough twang.

I think mine is chuffing brilliant.

Un-fashionably 'neutral', with a hint of hooligan.

Now that sounds like just the sort of thing I'm after 🙂

Thanks everyone, order placed this morning and hopefully getting it next week!

Good decision, you'll enjoy riding it I'm sure.

Been out on mine again tonight smashing the muddy puddles and overtaking the full susers mincing around them have it set up fully rigid,neg stem,flat bar1x9= awsome

Thanks for the advice all. Collected the new bike Monday and off out for my first ride today. Can't wait!!!
