Genesis Volare 10 2014, Reynolds 853, 54cm

I doubt they do save £120 by swapping the rear end to 725, unless they charge more per unit above 1000 units than they do for 10 or below.

This frame is tig welded, not brazed.

I'm also pretty sure that your frame will be noticeably less stiff than this one. We can only resolve this one way though, so if you both don't mind donating your frames we can test them to destruction on my surface plate with a standardised weight (@edscoble) and my height gauge to measure deflection. I'm free this weekend.

ok let's go down to £930 because i'm moving house and there's a very good chance my girlfriend will kill me if i bring three bikes with me. Go on. take it off me 'ands.

I've had my extremely heavy 725 Volare 20 for a short while, it's an excellent bike, that 853 version would sing in corner and climb.

great bike, GLWS!

not to derail further, but almost all frame builders (even today) say they use 725 or something other than 853 for the stays and the second link says specifically that 853 stays were not even available until late 2005, which is what I've always heard...

Reynolds definitely do make 853 stays, not a massive variety of option OTP though.

sorry misread @Campagnology posts, thought he was claiming to own a full 853 from '86

I spare your your gf a bunch of years in prison for killing you. Just give it to me.

ok i'm moving on Saturday and really would love this to leave my house by Friday - any takers at £900? My bank account weeps, but it's a dickhead anyway.

booyah, gonna put it on das Bay on Wednesday, so get in sharpish if you want it nownownow.

One ex-display just sold for £625 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281657764789

well i can't drop near that because i'm a living, breathing human, not a SHOP, god blast it. But i still think what i've got is a deal, so i'm open to offers. Take this beaut off me so i can sort out my commuter.

Look at that weather, isn't bloody gorgeous? yes it bloody is. And if you buy my bike, you could be riding in it too, smooth as fahkin silk. I just want rid of it now, anybody want it for like £775? that's so cheap it hurts me. Please don't hurt me. It's in great nick and everything.

Mate, I've been trying to sell my Genesis 931, worth £1200 new, and the highest offer I got on here was £450. Mates rates on here, proper money on ebay. Good luck :)
