Due to lack of space and too little use I’m sadly selling my Daewoo Genius Performance 700 bike.
These are extremely rare and a potential future classic - you will struggle to find another for sale at the moment which is a sure sign that owners are hanging on to them.
The bike is approximately 10 years or so old and shows quite a few signs of its age as its largely been used as a winter run around. However it has all the build quality that you would expect from a company like Daewoo.
Bike is steel framed with 3 x 7 Shimano Altus gears which all work plus matching chain. Taiwanese quality wheels front and back. Original tyres had to be replaced so bike is currently shod with a pair of Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres which have done less than 100 miles. Brakes also work although could do with new pads to reduce the distinctive screech that serves as a warning to pedestrians that you are approaching.
Original seat was replaced whilst I built up the strength to ride it for more than half a mile, and has sadly been lost. Bike currently sports a saddle off a Ridgeback hybrid, which although unoriginal does add to the comfort slightly.
Seatpost measures 54cm but the bike does seem to have a short wheelbase when compared to my hybrid or mountain bike which can only lead to razor sharp handling.
This bike is obviously a bit of a rarity so difficult to put a price on, but given the specification and newish tyres I was thinking that £20 would be a reasonable asking price.
Bike is available for collection only in Croydon / Addiscombe area.
Photo does flatter it slightly.
