"A bunch of steel tubes enthusiastically welded together in a retro geometry for the rider who cant be bothered with suspension. Dont try fitting a bouncy fork - itll handle terribly."

Seems a little daft building a new old bike when there is so many old bikes already in existence but I still Applaud enthusiastically

you get all the good grumpy old bloke bits, and all the good modern bits (brakes, drivetrain)

Shame about the disc brakes. But nice idea.

Nowt wrong with discs, they're retro too.

Needs to be 26" wheels really.

I liked the look of /idea of the Genesis Fortitude- rigid only 29er

Agree plus non disc. and a triple chain set but i do like it other wise

Yeah i like that, i think its just the tan walls and colour though.

I would like retro ie non suspension geometry 26" wheels and discs. Horizontal top tube be good also.

Shall we all chip in and give Taiwan a ring?

I hope they'll now build a modern geo frame, but that takes 26 in wheels (non-boost, of course), etc.
