A recent brush with the ankle doctor has confirmed I am past it and must finally hang up my skid patch. I only recently built this (well Ed did it for me if I'm honest, and if it looks familiar it is because I pillaged parts from his old flyer). Shame because it rides really well.
400 pounds please, pretty good deal considering the flash wheels. Collection Brixton.
Genesis Skyline Frame & fork (basically a Flyer with mounts for full length mudguards) only released for one year (2008). Reynolds 520 steel, 120mm rear spacing, track ends, Genesis carbon fork.
Geo seems a little different from current flyer but I can't find it online. Top tube 56cm (c-c). Seat tube is about 57cm c-t, but 53cm c-c. I'm 6'0" and am pretty comfortable as pictured but was going to put a 110mm stem on.
Unblemished recent powdercoat in anthracite (sparkly dark grey). There is a very tiny ding on the top tube that is hardly noticeable, doesn’t really show up in pics. Forks have a few light scratches
Spec:
-Phil Wood/Velocity A23 wheelset on it 32h 3x, reasonably light and strong.
-Also got the Phil Wood Chrome Dome on the driveside to provide better grip when tighten with an allen keys, no need for that large allen wench.
-Cane Creek sealed bearing headset
-Genesis 100mm stem
-Gearing is 45/18
-Shimano R650 brakes with Cane Creek levers, feel nice and positive.
-Salsa Cowbell handlebar.
-Cinelli Unicantor Barry McGee saddle.
-Conti Grand Sport 25mm tyres
