Genesis Vagabond
Anyone else seen the Vagabond? Looks like it can rival the fargo, but way cheaper! Just a shame they didn't drill the forks though. Might have to order the frameset

Re: Genesis Vagabond
Seen it and like the look of it but a little upset that the curved bladed forks won't be on production models 

May the bridges you burn light your way
Re: Genesis Vagabond
I think it might well be my next bike to save my km from commuting duties, looks really nice!
Re: Genesis Vagabond
I agree with Stu on the forks though 

Re: Genesis Vagabond
Suprised they didn't get an off-road drop bar made for it?
(or is it the angle of the photo)
The head angle in the photo I've seen looks fairly steep.
Also tyre clearance on the low side?

Tyre clearance at the front looks OK, not sure on the rear thoughctznsmith wrote:Suprised they didn't get an off-road drop bar made for it?

Next year's Charge Cooker 1 is very interesting as well

That's as lovely bike, I'm hoping that my shop gets one in soon for me to have a look atDainiusd wrote:Next year's Charge Cooker 1 is very interesting as well
Re: Genesis Vagabond
Wheres the photo of the vagabond?
Call me a cynic but have they changed the cooker or just bunged the 27.5x2.7 wheel / tyres in a 29er?
*edit, not saying I dont like the look of it though

Re: Genesis Vagabond
Not a big fan of curved forks, visually speaking so much prefer the straight legged version. Sorry 

Re: Genesis Vagabond
i like teh straight ones better on that. Curved ones are more visually appealing to me on horizontal top tubes, or even sloping the other way.
Re: Genesis Vagabond
I like both versions...
Would really like to see/try one out. May have to have a chat with my local dealer and see if he will get one in...

That bottom photo makes it look a lot more sensible!
Although fairly 'generic' in what appears to be a rapidly saturating market. ;-)
