Selling my well used and beloved Pink Missile©
Has served me well for about 4 or 5 years through courier work and other crazy shit.
It's always been to small for me but I've realized this even more now that I ride bikes for my actual size. The condition of the frame is chipped to shit but structurally it's sound (including some very clever removal of the front derailleur cable guide for extra aero points). All the bearings are in okay to good nick and I've recently popped in some new rear pads.Frame: Planet X London Road Gen 1 in 56 (although I can do some measuring for you if desired)
Fork: Carbon bladed, alloy steerer tapered.
Headset: FSA No.42
Stem: De-Logo'd Cube 100mm 31.8mm
Handlebars: Easton Monkey Bars XC Carbon cut down to about 600-something (can fit through cars and stuff)
Grips: Brand new, random things from my orange
Brakes: Shimano XT M8000 (one is pretty new as the old lever shat itself and the other is about 3 years old)
Shifting: Shimano XT M8000 Medium Cage
Wheels: Superstar specials (Think they're Novatec Hubs on Alex Rims) that have been as good as gold
Tyres: Continental Sport Contacts in 42 (from memory)
BB: Black Hope Stainless in 68mm
Chainset: Shimano 105 5800 172.5
Chainring: Absolute Black Gravel Oval in 46 (again, I think)
Cassette: 11 - 32 105
Seatpost: Easton EC70/90 (pretty old school but has been solid)
Saddle: Have a couple for you to choose from but all legitApologies if I've missed anything, trying to do this from memory so let me know if something is amiss or you've got any questions.
P.S. Photo shows slightly different handlebar setup up front/ saddle and won't come with Pinheads in the wheels (normal QR's for you, friends).
Can test ride/ buy in Harlow or Central London.
SOLD

So, as I'm trying to streamline my bike collection, this has to probably go although I'm not too fussed if it doesn't sell just yet.
Selling either the frameset (with headset, BB, seat clamp and axles) or the entire bike.
It's a race ready CX frame that I've never used for CX. Has been used as a "gravel" bike the entire tire and has worked really well for that duration. I've owned it since March this year and have treated it well so there's a couple of scratches here and there but nothing other than that AFAIK. The seatpost and stem have some minor scratches from longer usage (these have travelled from bike to bike) and the wheels may have a few scratches here or there from stones.
Surprisingly comfortable and true to size.
Talking of sizing, it's XL / 59cm and geometry can be found here (https://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bike/vapour-30).
Some blurb - The Genesis Vapour Carbon CX Frame shares the same durable mix of 24/30t modulus carbon fibre as the datum, along with some similar ride characteristics
The frame features full internal cable routing, is Di2 ready, has big tyre clearances and 12mm thru axle front and rear is just the beginning.
The side split stays at seat tube for added seat tube stabilization, D profile seat stays for vertical ride compliance and an Asymmetric Power Transfer BB (30% wider non drive side for increased stiffness power transfer efficiency) provide the platform for your ultimate CX build.Frame: Genesis Vapour CX in XL / 59cm which 30T Modulus Carbon throughout.
12mm Thru Axles, Tapered Head Tube, Full Internal Routing and Di2 compatible.
Wheels: DT Swiss R24 Spline DB.
Bars: 3T Ergonova 42cm with fresh grippy black bar tape.
Stem: Thomson X4 80 or 90mm (can't remember).
Saddle: Fabric Scoop (different from photo).
Seatopst: Nothing special 27.2mm jobbie.
Seatclamp: Thomson.
Crankset: SRAM Force 22 with a 48T Garbaruk Direct Mount ring.
Derailleur: SRAM GRX (brand new, fitted but haven't ridden the bike).
Cassette: Shimano XT 11 - 40 (1 ride old, less than 150km on it).
Chain: Shimano Ultegra (again, 1 ride old).
Shifters: Shimano Ultegra R8020.
Tyres: Panaracer Gravel Kings 38c that are set up tubeless with Orange Seal Endurance. (Rear is 1 ride old, had a weird puncture which has been double plugged with Dynaplug and should be faultless for the duration of its life).You're welcome to test ride it if you trek up to Harlow or if you're genuinely interested, can possibly arrange to meet in Central London.
SOLD
Or I'm also interested in a steel (58cm or thereabouts) big tyres gravel/ bikepacking/ touring/ whatever rigid MTB or something similar. Must be thru axles though!
