Have PM'd

Mario PM'd first.

Tyres gone subject to them being collected.

Ps. Forgive the false title. The wheel is an old Alex that looks pretty worn. If anyone wants it, mind you...

I've got two free sets of tyres up for grabs. They must be collected from SE27 before this Friday, as I'm moving house.

1. Conti GP4000S 700 x 23mm with plenty of life still in them.

2. Conti SportContacts 700 x 35mm almost new.

Sorry not to get back to you sooner, TiBo. Haven't been able to check in for a few days. Yes, the bike is still for sale. Maybe PM me later if you get the chance.

£355 for the full set up?

It's solid gold painted grey

Just to reiterate the size: it's a 54

Up for sale is my 2015 Genesis Day One Disc. I bought it in November last year and it has been ridden only lightly since then. Condition is very good.

It's the standard 2015 spec with the excellent TRP Spyre discs, but, only about 30 miles ago, I swapped the original tyres for a pair of 28mm Schwalbe Marathon Plus's and fitted a set of SKS full guards.

I'm looking for £360 ono as is or £300 with the original, barely used, Continental Sport Contacts and no guards.

Please also note that the SPD pedals are not included (I'll bung on some standard flats) and the saddle will be the original Genesis Cross, not the Specialized Romin pictured.

I built this bike up to be an awesome commuter, but circumstances have just changed so I now need to think about getting a Brompton, instead.

Cheers.

Ta. Any thoughts on my other questions? Thanks.

Kind of cool. Might there be an option to put the other roadie style brake levers back on? Also, what are the wheels, how's their condition and would it take full guards ok?

Cheers

Anything I could afford to offer right now would be a bit of a pee take, I'm afraid. And I'm not sure I need gears at this stage.

I need to get hold of a Brompton before too long, but that's a little too steep for me. GLWS

Good looking bike. Swap out the frame for something lighter/prettier, knock £500 off the price and boom!

Sounds nice. Any pics?

Nice frame in really sad condition.

Too late. I called dibs on absolutely everything posted in the classifieds ever, pending it being the right size, the right price, and me actually wanting it, of course.

Sorry Justin. Now sold

^ Thanks!

Here's a little pic of it in one of its built up guises for reference.

Having finally decided that the Equilibrium is too big for me I'm moving it on.

I bought the frame new early 2012, but, not being a fan of the 'cherry red' it came in, I straight away sent it to Colourtech to be resprayed gloss black.

The Deda Black Rain fork came off my 2010 Condor Fratello.

The Cane Creek headset, and the seat collar were bought new at the same time as the frame.

There are a few small paint chips - most notably one due to a rear spoke going, one because of rear brake rub that I didn't spot until the bike was stripped, and one from general stupidity. There are a few more tiny ones from commuting wear and tear. Neither the frame nor the fork have ever been involved in an accident and I'd say the whole set up is in good condition.

I'm looking for £100 collected from South East or Central London.

Bike now sold. Thanks for the interest, all!

Very uncool.

Since you don't care about profit making. How about you sell it for £180.

Then start a thread to get us to raise £120 for your chosen charity. That shouldn't too hard. It's nicer way of raising money for charity.

If you could guarantee me that £120 for my charity I would. I'm more than happy for whatever I get above the £180 to go straight into my Just Giving account.

I do totally get what you're all saying and so I might consider backing down. I'll sleep on it.

Apologies again.

Sorry but that is shockingly bad form.

I totally appreciate you feeling that way - I'm sure I would too - but after much thought I've decided I'd rather risk upsetting someone hoping to grab a bargain if it means getting money to a very worthy cause.

Apologies and best wishes

Okay guys, given the sheer number of PMs and replies I've had in such a short space of time, I've clearly underpriced the bike. I feel like a bit of a scumbag doing this, but I'm going to be a scumbag for a good cause. I'm now going to reprice the bike at £300 ono and anything I get over the £180 will go straight into my virgin money giving account supporting the National Autistic Society for the Surrey/London 100 I'm riding in August. I'll also donate a tenner to this site for allowing me the opportunity to place the ad, as I don't really hang out here otherwise.

In an attempt to be fair I'll offer the bike at £300 in order of the earlier dibs once I've left enough time for people to get in touch with me (this time tomorrow night?)

A little more about the Fuji: the chain was replaced at the same time as the fork and headset. I used the bike for about six months of commuting before storing it away in my outhouse. Apart from the rear wheel, it all seems to be running fine, but it could probably do with a good grease.

Sorry to those of you this will no doubt pee off, but I'll be really pleased if I can add to my charity's pot.

Up for sale is my upgraded and customised Fuji Track.

The frame is an 'M', which gives it an effective top tube of 54.5cm and a seat tube of 54cm (centre of BB to top).

The bike was my wolf-in-sheep's-clothing commuter until a spoke went on the rear wheel (causing it to go out of true). I always intended to do it up, but I got into using my road bike instead, and so I've decided to sell the Fuji on.

There's no two ways about it, the Fuj is a scruffy looking thing right now, but it rode beautifully prior to the spoke going. I suspect half an hour fettling on the rear wheel by someone in the know could have the bike running perfectly, or it would be a very cheap job to get the LBS to do it for you. I was going to sort it myself, but I thought I'd be lazy and cut a chunk off the price I initially wanted for the bike instead.

The spec list is as follows, and I will be completely honest about condition:

Fuji Track frame - plenty of scrapes and chips to the paint, some even showing touches of surface rust, but there are no dents and the frame integrity is fine.

Accor carbon Fork - I had Brixton Cycles fit this about a year and a half ago as I preferred the feeling of carbon up front. There is a noticeable scratch on the fork thanks to BC's annoying habit of stacking bikes for collection on top of each other in the showroom. It's aesthetic damage only, however.

Sugino 75 Crankset and Super Lap bottom bracket - an awesome combination that was a massive upgrade to the bike. There are scrapes, scratches and transfer wear, but it runs perfectly smoothly (50t chainring).

Rear wheel is a deep rimmed aluminium thing laced to a Formula hub. I can't remember what the rim actually is, but it came off my old Pearson Touche. As I mentioned above, it needs a spoke replacing and retruing. There are scratches to the rim, but there's plenty of life in it. It has a flip/flop hub and the fixed side uses Miche cogs. There's a 17t cog on at the moment, but a 16t and a 15t will be included in the sale, as well as another lock ring.

Front wheel is an Alexrims RT400 - very, very slightly out of true - used, but plenty of life remaining.

Tyres - 23mm Conti Gatorskins - used, but still plenty of life.

Headset - a lightly used Cane Creek fitted by Brixton Cycles at the time of the fork change.

Bars - ITM Racing Line - nearly new fi'zi:k tape poorly applied by me.

Stem - Deda Logo

Brake levers - Cane Creek

Brakes - Shimano 105s - plenty of scratches, but functioning well and I've fitted new blocks.

Saddle - Velo D2 in good nick

Pedals - Shimano M520s. There is an obvious scrape to one edge of a pedal from when they were on my Pearson and I came off. They work fine, however.

£180 - cash on collection from SE London only please
