This will seem like a real Idiot's Question, but here goes…
I have a Ridgeback Genesis Day One road bike, circa 2004. Is this in any way related to the Day One by Genesis, other than having a very similar name?
Reason I'm asking is that I'm toying with dabbling in a bit of cyclo-cross next winter, but I don't know how into it I'll get. I'd rather not bring ANOTHER new bike into the house on a whim, so my idea is to change the spec on my existing bike, just to get a taster of the sport – I can always bite the bullet later on if I get hooked. So (a) will my bike fall apart as soon as I point the front wheel off the tarmac, and (b) what should I be looking at changing?
Thanks very much!
