I've converted it from its original adventure mountain bike state into a commuter capable of going anywhere. It is adorned with:
Alfine 8 hub gear - Still going strong, serviced myself around a year ago.
SRAM Stylo GXP crankset
Velocity Blunt 35mm rims - These things are wide so give the tyres a great profile
Deore front hub
Schwalbe Big Apple 2X2.15 tyres - Still loads of life left and roll surprisingly well for a big slick.
Radial Mudguards with DIY rubber flaps (rear has a small snapped bit at the back but it's been like that since I put the flaps on 2 years ago.
Avid BB7 MTN disk brakes with proper Avid levers. Recent new pads.
Genesis saddle, bars and seatpost and generic stem.
Cheap but functional front rack
Extras
Knobbly tyres (On One Smorgasboard front (good condition) and Continental Mountain King rear (well used) both folding.
For another £5 I'll throw in the bag and bungee cord.
Not included:
Pedals
Carbon bar ends
Lights
Tagalong Trailgator mount on the seatpost
It's a smashing bike. Gets lots of comments out and about. I've used it as a commuter, mountain bike and child carrier (with wee-ride and Trailgator) and it excels at everything. Selling as I've got itchy feet for another project and it is one in one out at present.
Condition is decent. Frmae has numerous scrapes and scrtaches and it generally shows signs of use up close, however functionally it is still all doing what it should. No major rust issues, but some spots could do with a rubdown and touch up (couldn't we all).
Collection during the week from Central (work in Westminster) Kingston outside working hours. Can post if the buyer wants to arrange courier.
For sale is my Genesis Fortitude - 19inch.
I'm asking £300
