Genesis says
In the beginning there were balloon-tyred roadsters. Riders hauled a single gear over high cols and rough-stuffed while covering distances that would earn hardman status today. The Day One is a bike that takes that spirit and sets you up for rides that could take you anywhere. The geometry suits spinning along miles of towpath, tarmac and trail in comfort as well as lighting up on the singletrack, wet or dry. Mini v-brakes give total control from the short reach, shallow drop bars. Single-speed gearing sets the pace for long rides or short-haul city use. Maintenance goes to the back of your mind and opportunities come to the fore.

Go outside the UK and riders might not appreciate our reasons for wanting a long-fork hardtail or single-speed bike. Few others would choose rugged capability over race-replica weight. A bi
