Very much a case of "if it ain't broke...". The Day One 11 returns unchanged for this year, after being one of our most successful models in 2012. A bike inspired and born out of Vin Cox’s round the world record. A classy pairing of a lightweight Reynolds 853 frameset and Shimano Alfine 11sp drivetrain - all day comfort and reliability mile after mile after mile.
Without doubt one of the prettiest, but also one of the most versatile bikes in the Genesis range. Perfectly suited to anything from a daily commute to a few months getting lost in Europe and exploring the beautiful world around us.
A combination of features inspired by Vin Cox’s ‘Great Bike Ride’ - a fast-and-light round-the-world record ride on a Shimano Alfine hub-equipped Croix De Fer - the Day One Alfine 11 has both braking and 11-speed gearing tucked well out of the way of the elements.
If you require a non UK brake set-up (left hand front brake/right hand rear brake) please contact us at time of purchase to ensure correct set-up and adjustment.

Almost perfect
I took the plunge and bought one. A few observations, bad bits first- 1. Design fail on the horizontal dropouts: Having fitted some nice ETC mudguards, you have to remove the mudguard stays to get the rear wheel off! On my drop bar converted Charge Mixer it's vertical dropouts with eccentric bottom bracket to tension the chain. 2. Design fail on the rear disc brake mounting, this should have been mounted on the chain, not seat stay so you can use any rack (as it is on my Charge Mixer). 3. The paint is very prone to chipping. 4. The top gears are so high they are almost useless. I will try a lower sprocket to see if this cures the problem. 5. The Versa8 changes gear so much quicker than the 11, partly because it is configured to work in reverse so that you press the large lever to change up, meaning you have quicker downshifts. These niggles aside, I love it. It is more comfortable and lighter than my Charge Mixer. I did a 15 mile brake bedding in ride, and so far two 27 mile commutes. The first commute a lad on a Brompton told me it was his dream bike, and the second time (this morning) I broke my previous best record that I had been trying to beat since May! I don't think I could part with it now, it really is an excellent machine.
