Genesis Vagabond Custom

Paint is pretty tatty in places.

I bought this frame on here about 2 months ago for £90. when it showed up the headset was severely flared and I ended up getting half my money back from herrj, which I was happy with.

I was able to coke can shim the headset and have since done some short rides, a 3 day 300 mile tour on it and a 200 mile all day ride.

I stretched the back end out to 130mm (not cold set, just wanged) for 11 speed and it all rides really nicely.

it doesn't like to go in a straight line if you ride no handed, nor sure if it's the fork or the frame but it tracks to the left.

there is what looks like a crack on the weld by the brake bridge, but I'm not sure. it hasn't got any bigger so it seems fine.

anyway. lots of problems but it rides great.

if you want it its yours for £55 posted including headset (£40 m part I think) and hollow tech bb. if you wanto the chainset and 105 mechs you can have it for £110 posted.

If someone fancies the wheels, id take the bike without them.

Is the ab frane still available mate?

It is indeed. Cracking riding round there!

Really easy. Bought some cheap tubular steel on ebay 10mm diameter 1mm wall thickness.

Essentially then just crush each end the bench vice and drill a hole in it (then grind down the ends to tidy up).

Cheers. it is indeed. I stayed at the yha there. it was bliss!

And just because...
