SOLD Genesis Volare 853 with Enve forks

I have a new road bike, one newly rebuild, and a baby on the way, so it's time to move this one on.

Bought a few years ago from the legendary Beautiful Steve, it's been my main road bike and I have done a lot of miles with it, from Kent lanes to Surrey hills, French countryside to Swedish grus, and of course an awful lot of (often wet) rides in Denmark where I currently live.

It's a size 54, with a 55 ETT. I'm 1.80m, or 5'11", and usually ride a 55/56. I'm on the upper end of the spectrum for it.

The good: It's a very decent bike, it's taken me to a lot of places. It does everything you may want from a road bike pretty well. It's pretty fast and corners well, but it's also a comfortable and stable ride. Gears work. Brakes stop the wheels. The BB doesn't creak.
The bad: it's had lots of miles, it's been in cars, vans, planes, trains etc in several countries so the paint work is not in pristine condition. The groupset has marks too. The headset is a little rough. It's not a "3 sundays a year never in a rain kind of bike". It was my main bike, I liked it and rode it in all weather all year round several times a week up until last year.

SOLD

I'll also consider a trade for a quality road frame from late 90s onwards, in good to VG condition, or deep section carbon wheelset.

I have more pics of the frame for interested parties.

Congrats Lolo!

i'd be up for a group buy IF someone wants the groupset
Orginal owner really was a beaut

Thanks J!

The moment I bought it I know I'd be using him as a USP when I would sell the bike.

I miss beautiful Steve. Wonder what he's doing these days.

I want this. I can't have it right now though! The curse of moving house!

Feel free to PM.

Price drop, wheels off the menu, and trade considered.
