Absolute A1+++ service and backup from Chris @ Swrve. My Milwaukee zipper ate the backing flap last week and wouldn't budge either way so I had to force it to get it off. Chris has not only repaired the zipper foc but he managed to do it and get it back to me in 2 days. One happy chappy. Bring ont he snow!

Right, I've scrapped together enough odds and sods spares to build up my old Genesis Altitude 853 frame and reckon it should make someone an nice little hardtail for the winter months. Frame rides superbly as many owners will back up. Should fit someone around 5ft 10 - 6ft 2" (I'm bang on 6ft). A few marks (cable rub, etc) but no dings and never raced or rallied. Can probably include some pedals too (PD-M520's/cheapo flats).

Frame - Genesis Altitude 30 (Reynolds 853) 19"

That's a pretty iconic frameset (Superform) you've got there. Heralded as the first tri-specific bike and designed by Dan Empfield...

Might be worth more to someone on a triathlon forum?

I bought the back wheel. The front is still for sale and I could ask the seller to bring it to the pub if anybody interested.
"THERE IS ONE AREA OF THE RIM WHICH PROTRUDES SLIGHTLY CAUSING SLIGHT JUDDERING UNDER BRAKING
OVERALL IN SUPERB CONDITION"Contradictory statements or what?! Sounds like it's de-laminated.


Far too economical for Minky. Pfft!
