I hope Genesis sells some of these; as I posted earlier Walmart actually dropped the price by $20 US since I had purchased mine, but I still feel I got a really good deal. Hope they do introduce them in Europe. I thought early in this thread a guy from (maybe?) France said that this bike resembles a bike currently sold in Europe (complete with rack and mudguards).
I favor SKS mudguards and will probably add them later.

You know, I'm not sure since I'm basically a hotel dweller for the extended future due to my work (no scale). I did remove a little weight, but I suppose I also added some back (the rack).
Next up is the crankset....swapping the stock Lasco for a Shimano FC 2350 50/34 compact double.
