• My old commute Genesis for sale. ST 51cm c-c, TT 55cm c-c. Always felt just too small for me at 186cm tall. I warn you this is in pretty rough condition and the picture makes it look nicer than it is.

    Bad bits first:

    Frame has lots of scrapes, marks and some surface rust. No obvious dents though. Brakes are no-name calipers and are shite. Drive train has an octalink MTB chainset which makes the chainline rubbish, so rear mech limit screws are set to exclude the biggest sprocket. Effectively a 1x8, except the chain slips under heavy load occasionally. Horrible mismatched bartape.

    Good bits:

    • Steel is real. ultra-rare DBAD sticker included.
    • everything works and you can ride it away.
    • Some nice components including 105 brake levers, 9-speed bar end shifters (1 fitted and I have the other one), new rear cassette.
    • Wheels run true and spin nicely, Shimano hubs with budget rims (Omega rear & AlexRims front), hex key security skewers.
    • Marathon plus tyres with plenty of life left.

    £160 delivered to Marylebone station morning or evening. Pedals not included but can chuck some SPD-520s on for another £15.

    Run as a beater or strip down & powder coat the frame, some nicer components and you have a nice winter road bike.

  • Interested- first dibs please

  • I'm interested - is it still available?
