Genesis Volare 20, 2014, 58cm, Reynolds 931

Reynolds stainless steel - I stripped the lacquer and naff paint detailing off so all that's left is the Genesis headtube badge.

2014 model so this is the 'old' geometry from back when the Genesis team existed and actually raced these steel bikes. So it's built super stiff with a massive BB shell and double-oversize downtube and headtube. Not an audax cruiser.

Fork is not original unfortunately - some Lapierre job. It works!

Edit: just realised the geometry chart is incompleted without the reference image. Now included.

Mega stiff frame for life . GLWS. Ps.there is a fork on ebay

Thanks for the heads up on the fork. It's stiff enough to have won a couple of crits on the Hog in its heyday o it's close to my heart

Is posting within UK an option here?

I don't have a box to post it in so I'm afraid not

Hey are you London based.?

Yes - collection from Muswell Hill N10.

Sorry I see that I forgot to put that on the listing.

Price drop - £350

whats the tyre clearance?

I feel 90% confident I used to ride it with 28mm GP5000s but I can't guarantee they weren't 25mm. Here's a photo from 2021 if you think you can eyeball tyre width...

Yeah 28s fit fine on these, depending on the brakes.

If it’s one of the team bikes then it’s the much rarer Reynolds 953, not 931.

Beautiful bike, either way!

Looking at the geometry chart it seems like this is on the smaller end of a ‘58’ frame… will DM shortly

I'm 5'10" if that helps at all

Just 931 I'm afraid. I'm sure because the sticker is on my laptop now!

Beautiful bike, and if it’s like my 953, a fabulous ride quality, #GLWS!
