I utterly adore this bike!
clunker - how do you find the forks? Enough confidence in carbon? I have exact ones and waiting to ride them.

Sound mate, ridden on Pace R31 forks for over 5 years with no issues.
Yes.. a Surly 1x1 with RC31s... both getting on by STW standards. TBH as it is uber large it looks like a gate and really is not that inspiring to look at but it is sooo nice to ride.
It is my winterbike/ night ride bike/ occasional summer race bike though for some reason this year it has only peeped out of the shed once or twice.
....and if we are counting road bikes a Giant Bowery (I think that is what it is called.
Wanga with Pace RC31. Ace, my most used bike. Rarely get out the Intense Spider and only use the Road Bike when appropriatte. Really can't put my finger on why I like it so much. Just feels right somehow, no retro grouch posturing or anything. I was amazed in the summer took mate out on a local loop up a long farm road/bridleway. Totally forgot how steep it was as hadn't ridden it in probably 8 years. Looked at it rising up in front of us and thought I was in for a long walk. Instead had a long wait at top for my mate as he twiddled up in the granny ring. Technique I think plays as big a part as brute strength. And mind set too.
Wouldn't use it in the lakes or Peak unless I knew the route before hand but on the right ride it's flinkin ace Bobby!
Two here.
One an old Stumpjumper that I converted with a DMR tensioner and a GT with rigids on it.
May be selling the speccy soon as I need more room in the garage. ๐
several here.....
rock lobster fixed crosser with wide dirtdrops
Niner SIR9 with 2.4 racing ralphs (I will keep this one forever)
and a surly steamroller road bike (which does not really count here)
Another Genesis io owner here.
Great handling and fun to ride, although I seem to be having trouble staying on board of late. ๐

slidey inbred
and until saturday past a pace rc200 but put gears back on it
