I have for sale a Genesis Volare 853 Frameset 58cm (BRAND NEW STILL IN BOX) that i do not have the money to build up any more and so is no longer needed
NEW £1099.99, LOOKING FOR £1000 but open to sensible offers
DETAILS OF THE FRAME:
Regarded by many as the best all-round performance tubeset offered by Birmingham-based Reynolds, 853 tubing offers uncompromising performance and superb ride quality alongside an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, thanks largely to its heat-treatment process.
The stars of the show here are the ultra-light 853 Pro-team toptube and downtubes, a special range of larger diameter, oversize tubes available in thinner wall thicknesses (down to 0.4mm in places) to offer increased stiffness whist keeping weight down to a minimum.
Borrowing heavily from development of the flagship team bike, you'll find a Shimano BB86 bottom bracket shell keeping the pedalling forces in-check down below. The resultant 86.5mm wide shell (vs. a conventional 68mm) gives the clearance and weld surface needed to run the massive 24mm round chainstays. Combined, they offer a super stiff pedalling platform for optimum power transfer from rider to tarmac.
Up front you will find an oversize 44mm headtube matched with a 1-1/2 inch â 1-1/8 inch tapered steerer carbon fork for optimum strength and pinpoint-sharp handling with no weight increase. The whole bike is finished in colours that give a subtle nod to the iconic 853 badge.
