The price is back up to $199.
The Giordano at $235 looks to be the same bike but a different color.
I'm still undecided what upgrades to make.
I've been riding the Downtube 8H this week and
got reminded how nice the 8 speed IGH Sturmey Archer is.
Quiet, easy shifting and a wide gear range.
I've dropped the chain twice on the Genesis in the few weeks I've had it,
never on the 8H in 5K+ miles.
Oh anyway, just rambling.
I'm glad the Genesis option is available.
Thanks Atombikes for bringing to our attention.
