Geometry from the 2014 Genesis catalogue is here: https://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/media/catalogues/genesis/2014_catalogue.pdf
Edit: just realised the geometry chart is incompleted without the reference image. Now included.

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!
£400

Purchased in 2018 but never saw much use - a couple of weekends in the South Downs, and York Moors and not much else. It has been ridden about 300 miles but for the last 4 years just sitting in the basement. Hence the sale.
There is some rub to the finish (the frame is unpainted - just lacquer over brushed alloy) from bikepacking bags and the dropper seatpost is dodgy but otherwise it's in great working order. The bearings haven't seen many miles, likewise the shocks, the shifting is smooth and the wheels run true.
Size Large
Asking for £1,200. Open to advice if this seems off - I'm not so familiar with mtb pricing as with road bikes.
(I cannot find the UK retail because the model is discontinued but in the US it was $3700 FWIW)
Specs as follows:
RockShox Pike RC 130mm Front suspension

Loved, used and sadly abused. The major items:
A slight crack in the integrated upper headset race, probably caused by falling off a slippery wooden bridge in Rwanda
The bidon mount on the downtube had one of the rivnuts ripped out during some furious refuelling in the Highlands
Deconstructed carbon fibre knitting in the drive side chainstay. Not sure how this happened.
A portal to the upside-down has opened on the face of the headtube. A lesson to tape everything up before fitting bags.
Probably not safe to ride. Might be useful for some sort of arts & crafts though. And it does have a fresh new Hope headset

Used twice but no longer needed. I put a strip of gorilla tape on the saddle pack to protect it from rub against the rear of the saddle and another small piece of gorilla tape behind the venting port to protect it from rub in that spot. Both pictured. Nothing such to mention on the handlebar pack.

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