Genesis Flyer bike 54 cm (fixed fixie singlespeed flip flop)
£250
Description
This is a sale for my 2008 Genesis Flyer.
I have owned this bike from new, and it was used regularly until mid-2013 when I moved out of London. It was used daily for a 4 mile commute in London and is fantastic. It has both fixed and freewheel sprockets, 17T for both.
It is in fantastic condition. Looks great in the best colour for the flyer, and rides wonderfully with it’s steel frame and carbon fork, yet is still very light. Steel soaks up the road bumps and vibrations so much better than aluminium. It is in very good condition, a few nicks here and there but nothing major. I don’t use it now and need something a little more versatile for country trails etc.
