Not So New Build - Genesis Fortitude - 2 Years In

Re:

Looks great like the front wheel set up, is it a standard 29er wheel just with a wider tyre? It just looks bigger from a side - optical illusion probably

PS Your Thomson stem faceplate is upside down!! :facepalm:

If you mean mine then cheers.
The rear rack is a Topeak Explorer 29er disk and the front is a Salsa minimalist rack.

If you didn't mean mine, then, as you were. :facepalm:

am trying to figure out if Knard 29x3" tyres will clear my Fortitude Adventure if any one can help me out?

It won't on the back but the std fork will

2 years in to the Fortitude and the upgrade pack has arrived!

Namely a Rohloff hub and some Jones Loop bars.

Still too soon o be 100% sure but the first ride out on the new set up was good!

It's looking great. I've got a Jones H bar on a bike and it just feels right. Straight bars on my retro rides feel weird now.

Well i'm not sure about them bars tbh but sometimes you just don't get the true effect when looking at certain items in pics but other than that the bike looks really amazing ..
