    I never met Hayley in person but always loved reading her build posts, she was a gifted writer and someone who truly made bikes fun. Such shit news.

    Nice! Looks to be in full winter mode there, hopefully someone else can build it up to their tastes

    For sale is my lovely sparkly red pacer frameset, I think I'm the second forumer to own it - possibly the the third? It could be yours for ONLY £200!

    Included with the frame is...

    • Horrible green FSA headset which is unfortunately still in perfect working order (it just won't die)
    • Reassuringly weighty Surly seatclamp
    • Downtube cable guide/adjuster things

    There are scratches and general signs of use on the frame but nothing to be concerned about - no dings or dents.

    It's a great frame - this is one of the later generation so you can fit guards and 32c tyres if you are prepared for a significant amount of faff. Have had 36c tyres on it without guards and it worked a treat.

    Located in Manchester, ideally would like the frame collected but also happy to consider posting at the buyers expense.

    Think I've covered everything? Any questions do ask.

    Have the same frameset and a very similar build - can confirm these are excellent bikes - GLWS

    What bars are these? Currently doing some essential research for a road/fixed build and these look the perfect shape

    A nice set of cantis was also on my radar - how did you go about mounting the hanger for the rear brake?

    Sold a frame Wednesday, bought this Thursday. The circle of life. Surprised you don’t see more Genesis day one tracklocross builds - loads of tyre clearance and generally quite cheap… also if anyone wants to sell me some trp cx9s and s500 brake levers that would be great, these tektro mini vs are shite
