Hello guys,
Second and last post on the subjet.
Let's be clear : i'm not looking for honest and objective feedback from you. Why ?
Because i fell in love with the new Bombtrack Arise Tour, that green metallic color was a shock, and it is now spreading into my heart and became the purpose of all my thoughts.
I mean, look at that GREEN :

Isn't it nice ?
As you now understand, being in love makes me totally biased. That's what love is all about.
Now, while benchmarking i came around the new Genesis tour de fer 30, wich seems to be the same as the bombtrack but with slightly higher end component (and upright position, wich i don't really like)… For a lower price (2150€ VS 2300€).
Yes the gear ratio is slightly better on the bombtrack but changing the cassette on the Genesis would be easy to do.
The main thing i'm worrying about is that the Bombtrack frame is made of 4130 double butted crmo + heat treated front triangle, and the Genesis frame is made of the famous Reynolds 725 (and Crmo for the fork)

Nice for the Genesis, but the problem is that in my opinion : he is ugly as hell 🙁
Could you please tell me nice things such as : "Well don't worry about that, you won't feel the difference, these bikes are kind of the same !" or "Bombtrack know how to handle 4130 double butted crmo, your ride will be the smoothest you can get trust me", or even "Go Bombtrack. Eyes closed"
So i can feel less guilty, and more confident about my purchase ?
Thanks, i appreciate
