Evening all,
I have finally decided on a Genesis Datum As my new winter bike. Possibly a do it all for me bike. Next decision is which model. A 105 build and upgrade the wheels or go for a stock ultegra build and upgrade the wheels in a few months after saving .
Apart for the wheels what other areas have you guys been changing?
Any recommendations on best upgrades?
Any pics of upgraded pimped up Datums?
I bought a frameset...and built with parts i had...or got cheap.
I have Hunt wheels and a secondhand 105 groupset. When that goes i will get some ultegra hydro..they are nicer than my tep spyres. But the spyres are fine really 
I do fancy a set of hunt wheels
I always find the idea of buying a bike when you know you don't want lots of it odd
Maybe start with a frame?
I would just ride the wheels provided until I have a reason not to, like them not functioning. But that is just me

I'd go Ultegra as thats the best gears you are going to get unless you intend to go Di2!!
But change the tyres straight away and saddle.
Then wheels, but wheels do make a massive difference as the fitted ones are heavy and not tubeless compatible (not sure about the 2018 version)
I'm going to be selling mine soon (black 53cm), either complete or parts. Hydraulic Ultegra groupset, carbon FSA stem/bars/seatpost, Hunt wheels, etc
let me know if you are interested in any parts
I was considering the Datum as my next bike but when I decided that if I bought it I would upgrade the wheels immediately it became far too expensive. I've ordered a Whyte Wessex instead which weighs quite a bit less and has much better spec as standard.

Just ordered a set of 4 seasons for my Giant defy, will let you know how they are when I get them tomorrow (hopefully)
