My new commuter

Need to stick guards on later, and it's getting Marathon Plus on there as well.

Lovely - like the simplicity of it and no problems being seen on the commute - that is a glorious sunshine yellow.

It really doesn't. My next B2W in January will have those

Making progress. One guard on, Marathon + fitted.

Just need to wait until I swap the 18t for 16t tomorrow to finish.

Nice, I've got the Genesis CDF for commuting, couldn't manage without the gears. What are them bits on your spokes?

bendertherobot

They're 3M spoke reflectors. They're not awesome but are quite good, for that extra bit of night visibility.

+1 on the cheery yellow.
I'd also bought only one pack of reflectors for my winter commute & done alternate spokes, but went back for a second pack for balance (visual & weight).

I like those. Good value too.

The hub geared one with disc brakes looks like it would be perfect - but it's quite a bit more expensive.

I paid £399 which is even more pleasing

I get to have a (nother) bike to work bike in January so that will be a Genesis as well, prob the 8 speed alfine one.
