Oh my bad...and in the bad books again with SWMBO as N+1 has grown another bike...

I've been admiring titanium frames for a while and like the idea of low maintenance but I keep reading how the tubing can and often does eventually crack, which really put me off spending over £1.5k for a bare frame. Then I discovered that Genesis have brought out a new Reynolds 931 stainless steel tubed bike fitted out with Shimano Ultegra groupset and wheels. I found a dealer close to me and they had one in stock in my size and with a bit of wheeling and dealing I managed to pick it up for a great price. Just need to change the saddle for a Prologo Scratch and it will be good to go. On the scales it comes in at just under 8.5kgs so slightly heavier than most of the bikes I have but I doubt I will notice any difference in my speed
