  • Morning all

    Sadly, I’m going to have to move this bike on due to space constraints.

    The bike is located in Edinburgh, but can be brought to London as I’m down most weeks

    The build thread is mostly here

    Basics are

    • 531c frame & 531 forks
    • 59 CTT square (does have 130mm stem on atm)
    • Full 6800
    • Superstars wheels
    • full flappage
    • Delightful colour
    • Is a delight to ride

    The thread photos are from when it was built, so it does have some more wear to it, nothing unreasonable apart from some scratches that I appear to have added at some point, around the Reynolds seat tube sticker. (I will add closer photos of these on Friday)

    The photo at the bottom of the thread is from 3 weeks ago, so an accurate representation of condition

    This bike has done two Scottish winters (a winter and a wet summer) so it would be prudent to service it, that said everything is working as it should and it would just benefit from being dissembling and cleaned.

    I’m after £450 ono

    (I may be miles off, so happy to be ‘advised’ in true forum fashion)

    Collection from Edinburgh or by arrangement in London

    Large Genesis Tarn for sale here as well

  • Hello Rob, lovely bike. Could you let me know about tyre clearance please? Thanks!

  • Good question

    Currently on 25’s I think

    it’s either that or 28’s, but I can’t recall exactly, my gut says 25’s though

    The clearance on the rear is massive, but tighter on the front

    Hope that completely inexact answer helps!

  • Yes it does, thanks!

  • What mudguards are these please?

  • A mix

    Front is plastic and rear is metal, both are black and work though.

    German flaps add that air of quality

  • Talk to me more about the German flaps.

  • lovely

  • well now, strap yourself in

    steady

  • What is the frame size?

  • Whats large

  • Messaged

  • MP

  • 59 square CTT

    Sales thread here

  • All PM's and MP's replied to

    Although the MP's should really be busy atm

  • Phwwoaarr.

    Turning incognito browsing to look those up.

  • Flippenflappenshitten

  • But have you ridden it naked

  • Depending on where you put your cable ties, the flaps become remarkably ridgid

  • Yes, but not with the flaps

  • Photos of the seat tube scratches

    Bike will be london next week
