Wouldn't that be quite a cheapish solution? Listen to mdcc- that 900 quid are the best investment you can make. When you can not reassemble your stem the proper way you kinda earned to pay that money for a stem... That is porn just for the bank account of Zinn!

Seeing Sacha White make a bike with that kinda brake setup would make me think over that previous statement again, nyquil.
In my eyes that bike is gorgeous just the way it is.

Don't think so. Frames that large just look kinda odd.

Same frame, same look, and 700's as well.
(but it does not qualify for this thread, therfore just the thumbnail)

are those 650's?

Nope. It is just a decent sized frame.

Why not? It takes some time to hollow it but if I remember right, it takes 3-4 months making one of those. There should be a day or two in the schedule for hollowing the seat tube. Some manufacturers make two separated halves that are glued together at the end.
Since these bikes are super custom I don't get why they need an adjustable seatpost at all.
Btw, the craftsman usually makes yachts out of this wood.

anything made from wood (except fenders and boxes) = fail

Rethink about it!

That is what I call porn. Check out the wooden handlebar.

That looks gorgeous! Very nice job you did there. Thanks for sharing the pic an the information about the little space between chain wheel and chain stay!
I am just curious about two things. First: what kind of saddle is that? Second: are you really worried about the chain hitting your chain stay (because of the protector)?

Thanks for your thoughts! 61:18 was a mistake. Actually I ride 61:16 on my capo and tend to even go higher rather than lowering the gear. But with the smallest freewheel with 16T there is no other way but going into the 60s with the chainwheel...

@richardvaltos: Thank you very much for your effort! That helped me allot and saved me a mispurchase. Sad that the frame is built that way and doesn't give users the opportunity to upgrade to a bigger chainwheel. Would be happy about suggestions for frames that allows that but it probably belongs in another thread. Thanks again!

Already wrote Genesis but they replied that there is no need for a bigger chainwheel. They suggested a 13T-14T cog but I have not heared of such as freewheel...
@ SuperSonic: How much space is on the 56 between the 48T chainwheel and the chainstay?

I could not find a shop that still ships the 2008 in 60cm size. Would love to get the white 2008 version. If somebody can confirm that the 2008 version takes a big chainwheel I could intensify the search for a shop that still got a 08 in 60cm. Any information, regarding either the 2008 or the 2009 would be very appreciated.

Is there really nobody out there that would be so kind to measure the maximum chainring diameter? It would help so much...

Sorry, my fault. I got 61:16 (the smallest freewheel I could find) right now and it is ok. Could anybody check if the Genesis Flyer takes such a large chainwheel? The maximum radius woud do as well since you could measure that very quickly with a ruler... Thanks!

I am thinking on getting a Genesis Flyer but I would like to be sure that I could ride it with the gearing I like- which would be 61:18. I know... But around here are no hills... Did anyone swap the chainwheel for a bigger one yet? Would such an 61T chainwheel fit without touching the chainstay of the 60cm frame? A picture or just the maximum estimated diameter would help very much. Thanks in advance!
