In The Beginning: Genesis Owners

My 2017 Genesis Volare 931. Had it since new and since put Di2 on it though now I have a carbon race bike, I'm finding fewer reasons to hold on to it. How much value do these niche frames hold?

keep that and bin the crabon

I've just built a green one for a co-worker. Really liked it, would ride.

it varies, but let me know when you sort out an asking price, ( it's a medium right ? )

2019 Flyers for £449 !

(I know nothing about this seller)

@youramericanlover !

@miro_o Freewheel is Madison

Gah ... I’d have one if I hadn’t just bought and built up a Dolan along very similar lines.

swap the frame, sell dolan to some skidder

Cost: time spent buying/tinkering
Benefit: another bottle cage & colour matched forks.

Conclusion: not really worth it.

Sorry I know that’s not rly in the forum spirit.

Guard mounts? Tyre clearance?

I’m using 25mm tyres but can get 30mm tyres in the Precursa if I want. I sometimes use a clip-on rear guard. I’m actually ok with that I think. It’s not really my rain bike.

well, fuck you then

If I buy it I’ll end up with a pile of mediocre oem fixeh parts. 172 cranks, wire bead tyres (cough, spit) etc. I’ll make sure I send you a rim brake through the post x x x

sorry, ignore this

Oooh, was looking at one of those a while back but thought £750 was a bit much as i'd end up replacing half of it... £450 is fine though - take THAT credit card!

They are making good money on ebay at the minute..

Freewheel are not fucking around with their bike boxes

nice kitchen.

Do you really need the quick assembly guide? Looks like, lift out of box, ride.

Cheers, it's a great space but it's an old brick box on the back of an old stone building & is usually about 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house - need to get baking more to warm the bugger up!

@jontea I could have jumped in there & rode the bike through the side of the box like Evel Knievel - it's comedy sized

ha. is that the day one they had on offer? how is it?

Flyer - not had a chance to get it out yet but it seems bang on for the money, had a Volare and a couple of Equilibriums in the past so hopefully no surprises!

Hello all, anyone come across this issue? 2020 equilibrium, TRP 957 calliper brakes. The cable mount for the brake calliper is placed exactly in front of the frame mounts for the rear derailleur, turning the bars is going to make the cables foul each other. Hope the picture shows this well.

Please share if you have any ideas how to avoid this! Thanks in advance
