Gravel Bike 54cm Wanted

[colly]

I'm looking to make up a winter bike which will also be used as a bike for trails. Nowadays hills are getting steeper (odd thing that) so a bike with a w i d e range of gears would be ideal. Hence the gravel bike.
Something with a good pedigree and not a gas pipe clunker. Ideally a 1x with a bottom gear that would see me up any uk road. Disk brakes, either cable or hydraulic. Not massively heavy but weight generally isn't an issue.
Fair, to excellent condition. I don't mind doing a bit of fettling and replacing but .............
As the title says 54cm or small to medium. Frame could be made out of anything, carbon, aluminium or whatever.
Price wise.......well I'm not wanting to pay too much but if the bike is right for me and in good nick, then I won't quibble too much
Up to £500 maybe, at a stretch

Thanks for the heads up. At that price I have lots of room to do repairs or upgrades. It does look like a bargain definitely.

It certainly does and the guy selling it has been going for more years than i care to remember and seems to have a good reputation , i must admit if it had been a 55cm + i would have been interested myself

Just a bit of a drive from Leeds

150 miles at a guess, 3 hours each way.

I'll contact the seller and see what gives.

In fact I've seen a little used Genisis Vapour only 40 miles away. You know bikes, are they any good?

Looks a good bike from the reviews!

Both a bit new for me but either should be fine and the Genisis has to be favourite being more local .
