107mm/ 70 shell Italian bottom bracket, new, fitted to a frame but project abandoned, never turned a pedal, so up for grabs. Paid £50 for it.

£35

My partner has got the 555 in a fetching pink/plum colour. Bonkers light, and proper road bike geometry. These 5xx gen Looks are the C40 of their era.

Bella Bella.

Proper bargain wares. This is probably one of the best carbon frames made in the last five years. Look, at the very top of their game. Worth every penny.

I believe it's a KG76. KC would be the guy with the Sunshine Band. Lovely bike, and difficult to find in such pristine condition.

Vintage carbon like this is going to be hard to acquire in the next few years. Probably worth keeping...

That's a good price for someone. If this was a 58cm I'd be all over it. Priced one of these at the Leeds shop and getting no change out of £900 for the 853 frame/forks with flamboyant paint finish.

Hi I'll take this.

The decals are above the min insert line, which is totally matt carbon below (presumably for a better grip on the shim clamp). Vinyl would look okay (hard to cut at such small sizes though), but the originals are defo super thin water slides.

They (shims) grip really well, and you don't need much tension on it to hold firmly. People crank them up and they split or splinter. The post is bomb proof though as its solid carbon!

Size 5 = Large

Size 8 = XXXL

Probably fit 48-52" chest

A certain amount of skill in the execution is desirable, BJ has a reputation to keep :)

Genesis are your modern Scrooge bike builders - they save £120 from every frameset by only supplying an 853 main triangle. In profit terms, that's huge.

Every time you buy one, they're robbing you 120 notes! 853 rear triangle is going to be massively more rigid and robust (especially as its air hardening) over a typical brazed 725 rear end. And 753, in a lugged construction is going to beat it hands down.

Its just down to bean counters now, which is why the rush to carbon, as the profit margins/manpower/low skill cost are significantly better than actually building a frame.

In the trade, the story goes the real origin of Genesis frames is the Philippines..

You wish! It's an Ilkeston build with about 400km on it. Pound for pound stiffer than any modern builds.

725 Reynolds chain and seat stays = cost cutting frame building. That's all.

Also on Retrobike?

Nice bike, but they be very heavy 853 frames (the rear triangle is only 725) - they weigh in at (56cm volare) 1950gr frame only.

I have a 1986 Reynolds 753 same size as yours, it weighs 1645gr....

Sometimes newer isn't always better :)

Yeah those Bottechia SL frames have got it all. I had one too big for me, but still super responsive and with that lovely steel feel on the road. Barginz!
