    2013 Genesis Fortitude Singlespeed

    To be honest there isn’t much handling wise between the pair. Yes, the frame was refinished to match the fork - originally it was black like yours. Love the idea of a Pinion conversion 😎 How far off are you from starting that?

    2013 Genesis Fortitude Singlespeed

    Probably daft BB question …

    Hey Y’All, I’ve been out of the retro game for a while now but have made a start on pulling a long overdue build together. I have a NOS M730 BB for the build that I opened the tape on the box off last night ☺️ The grease in the cups and on the bearings (in their pot) is still supple but I...

    Soooooo nearly 3 years on from my last post ( ☺️ ) and I finally have a complete box of bits I think I’m happy with … I’m not sure I’m going to use it but this arrived this week - made by WI IIRC - really nice piece of kit. Roll on longer, lighter, warmer evenings and a spare few minutes 😎

    1988 Specialized Rockhopper Comp

    Holding post whilst I sort a few things out but after 14 years on RB this may be my favourite build to date - one with a bit of history (to me). No disc tabs have been used in this build ;) The photo of "postit face" is a photograph of a photo that I cannot find the original of 😖 taken in my...
