FS: Genesis CdF 56cm

Hi all, selling my oldish but nice Genesis CDF.

Selling as appears in the pics but without the wheelset. You're prob not missing much as they're just the stock standard ones that came with it.

Only reason for selling is that it's always been slightly too big for me. I've now finished building up a 54cm of the same bike so this one's gotta go.

More info:

• Genesis Croix de Fer in lovely sky blue
  
• Great do-it-all bike for road/gravel/commuting with all the fun mounting points for touring/bikepacking
  
• Reynolds 531 steel frame, size 56cm (I'm 175cm / 5'9" and I needed a shorter stem on it)
  
• Frame is straight. The usual scuffs and the odd chip but no dents. Paintjob still looking sharp
  
• Shimano Sora 9-speed groupset
  
• Avid BB5 calipers
  
• Currently sporting a shortish 80mm Deda Zero stem. I should have a 110mm version of the same lying around shortly, which I could swap over if I have time
  
• Everything in working order. Rode the Dynamo on it a couple of months back with no issues
  
  

Looking for £325 ono

Pick up from Lewisham, London. Could meet more central in the city if needed

Hey man, is this still for sale? If so, reckon I could come take a look?

Hey mate, yep still available. Sure thing, feel free to DM me days and times

Wicked. For the life of me I can’t figure out how to dm on my mobile but will grab my laptop shortly and fire one across

Good price. Nice to see some realism in pricing.

GLWS. Am curious how well does the Sora Groupset perform?

To be absolutely honest the best groupset I've ever had on a bike has been 105. I feel like I can tell the difference between Sora and 105, but it's not that much of a difference. As mentioned in the ad, I rode this year's Dynamo with this bike and loved it. Maybe I have simple tastes though

Update: a few people have been asking about the wheelset. Yes, I need to keep the wheels for another bike sorry. But happy to include a similar front wheel to what's in the photos (Alex rim or similar on a Shimano QR 5-bolt disc hub). Bearings might need replacing. Also happy to throw in a Shimano 105 12-25 casette in very good nick. You can have the tyres too, the rear is pretty bald though

Price drop: am working from abroad for a bit so £300 ONO for anyone who can pick up in the next couple of days

It's expect it's s a genuine mistake, but this is actually a CdF, not a Croix de Fer; more info here - https://road.cc/content/review/61480-genesis-cdf

Thanks for the link mate, yeah I didn't know the difference tbh. Have amended in the title. A good excuse as any to drop the price to £275 if someone is keen today. Otherwise it's off to the bay in a few weeks.
