Genesis Fugio 853 54cm SOLD

Posted on
  • Early Fugio frame which was basically a cyclocross race bike made from Reynolds 853. I had mudguard mounts added and had it powder coated by Steve at Aurum.

    It currently has a Columbus futura gravel fork which is much more a road length fork but with good clearances and mudguard mounts, compared to the previous cyclocross fork. As a result it has pretty steep angles now, around 74 head tube.

    The fork is actually 1 1/4 inch but the head tube is 1.5 inch. It has a reducer in there which works perfect. Fork is thru axle, rear dropouts QR

    It will clear 42mm without guards and 35 with. The current guards are only 42mm but 45s will fit fine. I have some if you would like those instead.

    Geometry Bare in mind the fork is now a different length.

    Hope headset, Ultegra BB and seat clamp included, guards if desired. Takes a 27.2 post.

    Small scratch on top tube pictured. It has top tube cable routing and guides for top pull FD but it has a problem solvers adapter to run bottom pull. Good segue into the fact that the mudguard mount which was added at the seat tube was put in at a cock angle and as a result, is useless. The problem solvers adapter is being used as the mudguard mount, it is solving two problems in one, that’s included.

    £350 > £325 > £300 collected in N16

  • nice

  • What's the frame size please?

  • Says in the title buddy. There’s also a geometry chart in the ad description

  • Well don't I feel like a dork

  • Sorry that was a little unnecessarily sarcastic

  • Haha no sorry it's fine, I was taking the mick out of myself! Should have read the title properly.

    I looked at the geometry and don't think it's for me which is a shame, really would like a nice 853 frame but probably not this one.

    Best of luck with the sale anyway it's a nice bit of kit!

  • Mind me asking where you got the mudguard mounts added? I've got the same bike in a 58

  • It is pretty aggressive for sure.

    @Nelly not actually 100% sure who did it, I got it done through Clever Mike (the bike shop) who are now closed.

    Winston at Varonha could easily do it though.

  • this is hot, and while I know it's not oranges and oranges, rather puts the recent 800 quid Brother F&F in perspective. GWLS..

  • @Buda_ What brother was that? Definitely more instagram points for a brother though, that’s got monetary value for sure.

  • since deleted, but a new Mehteh with a Hope headset..listed for a grand, seller called everyone c8nts for not being able to afford it, then relisted at 800, then deleted it after a bit of interwebs handbags.. prompted me to muse out loud why a 725 tubed frame welded in Taiwan might be worth so much...but yes, you're right, it's the funky brand premium..

  • That's... very original!

  • Drop to 325

  • £300!

  • It's a great deal... and to think I have a spare Qr rear / thru front pair of wheels.
    How light is the frame?

  • I do actually have a set of QR/thru wheels (that I bought from you incidentally) that could go with it.

    Not sure on the weight, don’t have any means of weighing it. Probably not exceptionally light given it’s chonky head tube.

  • Might be interested if it could be posted at additional cost.

  • Where abouts are you?

  • Dibs- pick up this weekend

  • Ghent Belgium, so quite a bit out of your way.
    I see you already have a local offer, so that would work out better!

  • Haha yes Belgium is a bit far out of my way.

    The bike is actually sold now though.
