Custom Genesis Croix de Fer

Hi ya'll

Just wanted to show (off) my custom Genesis Croix de Fer, put it together spring 2017. It's my first road'ish bike and I've had a blast with it since day one.

What about this bike is custom?

Alex99

Nice that. Hard to see, have you got some unusual bars?

Well @beanstalk - I bought the frame and all parts separatly and had it put together. Thought that qualified as a custom build.

Yeah @Alex99 - they’re Salsa cowchipper bars with outragous 24 degrees flare. They’re a bit wide on the drops but it feels ok for now. Might change them for something less flary later though.

Nice bike, I hope you have many happy rides, and welcome to the forum.

Oh, then most of us have custom bikes....
(And you had it put together, not even did it yourself.)

Thanks for the warm welcome and positive vibes @beatmaker and @beanstalk
