That's the first Bianchi, I've seen, that I don't like.
In fact, it's truly awful.

Maybe it's eye of the beholder but I've just finished all of the upgrades over the last 6 months and I promised I'd post her here because she's a beauty to me.

Wife's new winter trainer.

New frame, old dura-ace bits transferred over. A new saddle and bars are in order when funds allow and the wheels are mis-matched, but the frame is a lovely shiny metal-y thing.

I love the Genesis bikes, they are all beautiful, currently looking at one myself. What are peoples opinons on the 931 range. I don't like the paint job compared to every other Genesis (in fact its pretty ugly compared to every other Genesis) but I have one at a good price:

i've always liked the silver paint jobs, not a big fan of the black fork but it's not enough to put me off...

Still very pretty IMO, I like the bare stainless steel look. I prefer the paint job on my Equilibrium, but would still swap it for bare 931 if I could just to have the longevity.

I love the Genesis team bike. Gorgeous machine. But Genesis themselves have finally had to roll with the times and go carbon fibre. Very nice machines now and fair play to them for persevering with steel for so long, but .... the times they are a-becoming quite different.

My understanding is that they have the CF (Zero) and the Steel (953) at races from now on so they have a selection depending on conditions.

I do love the race paint job as well. As above, also not a fan of the black fork but I can't justify the price jump for the 953 but I wish I could.

I found the silver paint on my Cdf is soft as puppy sh!t, its marks so easily compared to my other bikes.

Do you find the ride dampened as a result, does it affect frame stiffness or is it just the coating thats soft?

Mycycle.ie have some good deals on Genesis bikes at the moment if you're in the market. I want (another) Genesis myself but can't justify it..so I'll have to live vicariously through another boardsie..

That's who I was looking at, incredibly cheap for the Volare 20. Anyone know if they have any in their Kilmacud shop. Would love a test ride.

I phoned up a week or so ago and they said they had a 54cm in stock.

According to their stock list, only the 58cm left (which is my size), how long it will stay there though is another question.

fat bloke

Yeah, there was a bunch of lads in the club bought up those genesis's's's'. Half price essentially.
I was very tempted myself by the team issue with dura ace wheels and 11 speed mechanical dura ace. - A bike for life.

They also had a very good price on the top of the range Team frame with ultegra- not sure if it's still there though (it wasn't on the website, they guy mentioned it when I phoned).

I think its the coasting tbh. I've had problems with cables & even a bar bag rubbing the paint away.

Yep, the paint on my Croix de Fer is pretty scratchy too. Adds character

Bought a 931 volare a month ago..,
Bare stainless steel
Fitted it with 11 speed Athena and eurus..
I'm lucky enough to have a Colnago eps for my good day bike but the genesis is constantly being picked these day for the spins...
It's got so much character ...
Reminds me of my old steel bike as a teenager but with way more punch..
Granted when I do ride the eps it is a touch( and I mean a touch) livelier ... But the genesis is more fun..
Handles like its on rails and not hard to climb on..
And being a naked steel finish has no paint wear issues!
Couldn't recommend it high enough...
P.s had an equilibrium briefly - also terrific

That's for a medium frame. Us taller, more handsome devils have to loose out somehow.
