I just wanted to send a big thank you for taking such incredible efforts to create my Geneo. I purchased it in October 2007, but was the first to get the '08 paint scheme. I had a bunch of issues which led to this purchase.

First, being female, I was looking for a bike that actually looked something fierce, rather than one of those super-chicky princess colored bikes that most other bike manufacturers offer. I loved the fact that I could customize the colors and design styles to suit my personality. The final paint job is awesome and the colors just jump off the bike. When I'm riding with my fiance, other guys will pass and appear to be checking me out...we both laugh because those guys inevitably mumble something like "sweet bike", then realize that we see them staring, and hurry off.

Second, I suffered with a lot of back problems on my old aluminum frame. Being 5'2", it was extremely difficult to fit into even the smallest womens frames. My Geneo fits like a glove and, though I still have minimal back pain, we are working out those issues by adjusting the seat and handlebars. It's really almost not an issue at all now. I am so happy that I no longer get done riding and feel like my back is going to break in half.

Thirdly, I wanted a 'Ferrari' in bike terms. As soon as I took my Geneo out on its first spin, I could feel so much of my power propelling me forward, rather than losing some much of it as I did with my old frame. Plus, the faster the speed you get the bike up to, the more solid and steady it feels. It's built to be riden fast.

Thank you so much again for your time, skill, craftmanship and energy. Your bikes are something serious to behold.
