• There was a thread about this before, then I closed it, then I tried to open it again, and I couldn't.

    This beautiful bike is still for sale, except I have now cannibalised a few parts from it for my new bike, so I have lowered the price. Even more of a bargain, still great spec:

    Frame and forks: Genesis Equilibrium Disc Reynolds 631, 60cm (see geometry below - it's essentially 57cm ST 58cm TT)
    Headset: Chris King pink 'pretty and strong' 1-1/8"
    Handlebars: Focus Concept EX 44mm wide compact
    Stem: Focus Concept EX 110mm
    Shifters: SRAM Apex
    Brakes: Shimano mechanical discs brakes (Tiagra equivalent), new pads and rotors two weeks ago
    Chainset: FSA Gossamer compact (nice Shimano 105 outer chainring)
    Front derailleur: SRAM Rival
    Rear derailleur: SRAM Apex
    Cassette: Shimano 105 12-27
    Wheels: Both Mavic rims, but not matching
    Tyres: Schwalbe Marathon Plus 25mm
    Seatpost: Focus Concept EX inline 27.2mm
    Seatpost clamp: Thomson
    Saddle: Focus Concept EX
    Mudguards: SMS Bluemels, stays modified to fit around the front disc caliper
    Rack: Tubus fly, black

    Bottle cages: King cages, stainless steel

    This will never be a show bike, and there are signs of use all over. The levers had been crashed by a previous owner and have since been scraped by me. The front wheel is a tiny bit out of true, which obviously does not affect braking but means it rubs on the mudguard a little.

    They're the only less-than-glowing things I could say about this bike though. It's a perfect workhorse, and structurally sound, and should see you right for years to come. In addition to this, the chain, cassette, rotors and pads have all been changed in the six months to a year, and the brake cabling is that fancy frictionless stuff that @edscoble likes which makes the braking silky smooth.

    I'm looking for £475, which hopefully seems like a fair price.

    It's in Forest Gate (E7) for viewing/test ride/giving me monies and riding away happily. I could possibly ride/drive it to you if you're a bit further away as well, just let me know.

    Pictures with new parts pending, hopefully tomorrow because that means I'll have my new bike by then. In the meantime, this is what it basically looks like:

    Here (finally) are the pictures of the bike with its new parts on. I decided that the hassle of changing the chainsets was more than it was worth so the FSA chainset is staying on this bike after all.


  • This is how my winter bike should look. Great price and GLWS!

  • Good price - sad to see this thing still hanging in classifieds.

  • This is now provisionally sold pending a viewing later in the week.

    If anyone else is interested let me know and I will keep you up to date.

  • No longer provisionally sold.
