Very nice mate - I like that a lot. It's just begging for some tight, technical singletrack

Ooh, i've got one of these

paul your altitude looks wicked mate loving the 08 finish sweet as how does yours handle iv'e finally just got mine dialed right

Me like these bikes,

though not so fond of the gold, but that's just my taste


Me have Altitude too, mine's not a Genesis one though

re:

woow the slx group looks really good! it looks like the old XTR 950!

The head angle on the first bike looks very slack.

Is that bike supposed to be run with such a long fork?
If not you may want to lower it, it's pretty easy.

its an uneven path mate makes it look really dodge and reba's are only 100mm travel

Genesis

Really love those, but think the Gold stem is overkill, All the other Gold is great, but think a Black stem would look more balanced with the Black seatpost?

Tall paul am loving the colour!
