Our take on the Genesis Croix De Fer 10 Gravel Bike
We know that buying your dream bike or electric bike isn't a snap decision - that's why we offer free test rides in each of our four London bike shops.
We've made booking a test ride easy with our online system. Start by choosing a date and time that suits you, followed by your preferred location and finally, the model or bike type that interests you.
Once you have purchased your new bike from us, it will be put into the build queue for one of our workshops. Your bike will be built and will undergo a Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) by one of our expert mechanics. A PDI is a checklist that the mechanic follows to confirm that all parts of your new bike are up to our high standards.
Next, your bike will be prepared for shipping. Padding is used on all the necessary areas and your bike is loaded into a sturdy cardboard bike box. All the necessary paperwork and accessories will be packed inside too. Most of our cardboard and packaging are recycled from incoming deliveries. Bikes are usually delivered by DPD within the UK.
In order to package your bike safely, you will need to do a small amount of assembly when it arrives. It can vary from bike to bike, but usually you’ll need to: fit the front wheel, install the handlebars and fit the pedals. Please note that not all bikes come with pedals - please check the specification on each bike, we’ll include it on there.

Product Description
When Vin Cox completed his bike ride around the world in 2010 he not only entered the Guinness World Record Books, but he also secured the reputation of the bike he rode every day for 163 straight days. Cox's Croix De Fer was drop bar, hub geared version and not far from what we have here.
This version of the CDF packs all the features you'd expect to find on a bike of this kind. Three sets of bottle cage mounts, eyelets for a rack and mudguards, mounts for anything cages on the mudguards. The bike rolls with 700c wheels and 40c, semi-knobbly tyres from Kenda, which are tubeless compatible.
Next up on the spec list is a set of mechanical disc brakes from TRP and in the gearing column, there's a 2x9 Shimano Sora system - an 11x34 cassette and 46/30 chainset to be exact - sensible gearing for a variety of riding situations we'd wager.
