SOLD: Genesis 58" 853 Equilibrium - Ultegra £250 - donation made

The Bike
Genesis 58cm, 853 steel equilibirum.
Originally constructed by @Alb (Albinder)

Lovely steel frame, and I have done the Paris-Roubaix sportive on this with @Mikey5000, @sasmon, @truli and @dave4 would have been there but for a significant campagnolo issue.

It is a perfect winter bike - it comes with mudguards or for turbo trainer use.

Currently has 28c - on it, and with the mudguards I don't think you can do wider.

Condition
It has always been kept inside, but it has a marks and scratches consistent with winter use.
Cassette and chain are in decent condition; wheels are likely in need of replacement and I'm sure someone smarter than me can do something with those ultegra hubs if you need new wheels.
2 new Gravelking tyres on it.

Price
£250 for all that you see.

£100 donation to the forum on sale.
If you want just the frame and forks, you get the wheels to take home.

I think the price reflects that I'm not splitting or posting.

Location
I'm in the City (EC4M) during the week, so this is hopefully convenient for most.

Sizing
58cm effective top tube. I don't have the sizing chart, but for reference I am 6'2" with a 33'' inside leg. Alb had a longer stem on it than I ride, and even though I have ridden it lots, it is probably a little too big for me. It comes with the stubby stem.

You can insert your own long limbed torso gags here.

Nuts bargain, and v generous forum donation.

Anybody know Jon Deniss's username on here? Had 3 bikes stolen this week

Bargain of the year! This will not hang around.

Dibs, will pm, but if someone has had their bikes nicked they can have priority

greatest equilibrium ever made

at 58 inches, it's surely the biggest ever made

Fair, 58cm.

That's a proper bargain!

Second dibs!

Pm’d

Absolute crazy bargain of the year. And that donation! Wow, this is true forum spirit.

GLWS :)

Hello, thanks for all the messsages. I've hopefully replied to them all.

Loose priority, as after all we all know the forum only gets cash once I do.

1. @woah who I understand had one stolen recently. I'll give him until Tuesday 1700 to come back to me and see if that works for him - he came back.
   
2. @mig - who I think can collect on Weds in the city
   
3. @JamesQGM - who I think can collect on Thurs in the city
   TBC - user ending 843/ @SlimCharles/@BondMax @duckrabbit (collect West).
   
   

I know some of you said you can collect on Tues, but I will give someone who has lost a bike the chance first. I trust you all understand, and thanks all for looking.

Hey I need to undibs as going to struggle to collect now. Will leave it to the next person! Amazing deal and very kind donation
