    Genesis Equilibrium, size large for sale. Steel (725) frame, 11 speed, 105 groupset & 28mm GP5000 tyres. I also have a set of mudguards that are not on the bike now, but have been fitted for winter. Rim brakes, but these have been upgraded to TRP RG957, these sell at over 100 euro. This makes a big difference on the bike.

    No pictures now, I'll try to get them up over the weekend if anyone is interested. Here is a link to a review of the bike, its the same colour as in the review (light blue).
    https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/road-bikes/genesis-equilibrium-20-review/

    Bike is in very good condition, usual scuff marks, etc. It is a super comfy bike and has served me well, having done multiple 200 days. It is ready to go.

    Price 700 euro. Located in Cork city.

    That is a great colour. I hadn't seen that before

    Glad I am not in Cork or I would be making an offer.

    I would be very interested - can you send me a couple of photos (particularly of scuffs etc) if you can't upload here. I will pm you my email address for photo purposes only.

    First set of images

    More info on the bike. Rear wheel is a replacement.
    Shimano 105 Rear Hub 5800
    Mavic Open Pro Clincher Road Rim
    DT Swiss - Workshop Only Wheel spokes

    Saddle is Charge Spoon, but can replace with stock saddle.
    Stem was replaced from 110mm to 100mm, but will supply the original stem
    Bike has 13,217k on it according to Strava. It was used for club spins / audax, and not for commuting.
    Tyres, chain and stem replaced in July 2020 (at 11,500km)

    The only scuff marks are on the top tube and the right shifter. The top tube marks are from bike-packing bags, the right shifter was when it was turned upside down to change a puncture.

    Here is the size chart. For reference, I'm 5ft 10 and the bike fits ok for me, after changing the stem to 100mm

    The size chart was taken from the 2017 catalog so is 100% accurate to the model and the year.

    I am up the country over the bank holiday in Carlow / Wicklow, so if anyone from Dublin - Waterford was seriously interested, we could arrange to meet.

    Sorry but I'll have to withdraw offer.

    I had hoped to make space for this but can't make this fit at present.

    Going to regret it, bike looks fantastic and is great value


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭mh_cork


    Ok.

    So bike is still for sale. I would prefer to sell it complete, but can also sell without wheels.

    Lovely bike, thank fook it's too big as I was trying very hard to justify it all day (sizing was my final step!).

    I would match this offer but you would need to get it to me in Dublin. No problem if you can get another offer closer to home that works better for you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166 ✭✭mh_cork


    I'm in south Wicklow over the bank hol, so could meet you in south Dublin on Sat or Sun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,812 ✭✭✭C3PO


    My sincere apologies - I’m going to have to withdraw too. I didn’t realise that an 11 speed cassette wouldn’t work with my Hope hubs. All I’m really looking for is a replacement frame for my commuter/bad weather bike and I thought I could make yours work.
    Really sorry for messing you around.

    Thats a shame, but I'm glad you found this out beforehand! Interesting that you were going to use it for commuting, as it can fit a pannier rack.

    If you change your mind, let me know. I'll have the bike with me over the weekend, I might venture over some of the Wicklow 200 hills.

    Hi mh_cork, a friend of mine is interested in this bike. We're both based in Cork. Would it be possible to to try a test spin as he's worried about the bike being small?
