Genesis Alfine ioid 2009 17.5”
Reluctantly young family/lack of riding opportunities means it’s up for a bargain price of £375ono.
Equally good as a standard HT or a “bivi bike” I originally bought this because I’m too unfit to ride SS on hilly rides especially carrying bivi kit (I tend to carry loads of kit) so I wanted gears but without the worry and hassle of mechanicals such as chain suck/snapped chains & mech’s and generally struggling with gears and mud on the trail.
With the exception of new pads and chain tensioner it’s the standard out of the box spec (8 speed alfine), it’s not been ridden anywhere near as much as a bike of this age should be.
There are a few marks/chips on the frame as you’d expect but nothing serious.
