Genesis Prototype Fatbike; update


Bikes should be ridden and not hidden..

In loft storage last two years set up with single speed 27.5+ wheels....

The Genesis Prototype Fatbike;
A one off prototype in Reynolds steel, with sliding adustable dropouts and finished in Genesis team colours. 17” medium it is a little smaller than my 18” medium Surly Pugsley’s but rides real nice.
Yeah it could be hung up and looked at but it’s just a pushbike at the end of the day and should be owned by someone who will love it and ride it.
So the bike is back out in use again with two sets of wheels - Fat and Plus and 1 x 10 gears as my other bikes all have,
Girlfriend G bought the bike and i soon had set it up ready for her to use,
The Halo Fat wheels were bought used online and i soon had them set up Ghetto tubeless after they were delivered and adding discs and new Cassette for a quick swap with the 27.5+ wheels...









With a spare new 10 speed drive chain i soon had the bike ready and G added a womans saddle...
G has rode over 300 miles already in just over a month swapping the wheels herself for the coast or inland on trailsand she loves the bike!







I`m happy to see this special one off frame set being used, esp by someone who having just discovered Fatbikes is absolutely loving the bike with the two wheel options,

The only bike i now own and do not ride is my original Surly Pugsley but thinking it will get some use again over the summer...



More soon...

  1. I loved that bike, was very happy to own it, but also happy to swap it back for my long-sought after Wednesday. Good luck to G and may she enjoy many happy miles on it!
