Here's the Volare

They did make some stunning steel frames back in the day

Or even the Croix de Fer 853

The Volare is my favourite https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bikes/road-bikes/genesis-volare-853-review

I'd put my money on a fairly vintage Genesis Reynolds 853 with the carbon fork, really plush frames and not expensive. Stick to rim brakes my advice tho

Loving those oversized AD decals

I'm off for the weekend, will get back to you Sunday.

In had a Grisley back in the day, but front ended it on a trail in the Lake District at speed. Game over for the big aluminium tubes.

A nice quality dynamo set up, just in time for the pub bike in winter 👍

The blues are definitely the ones to go after. I had a pair on a Carlton 753 but they've gone astray after various house moves...

Too true. We're only exposed to the 'lego bricks' toys of AI. The 'fun' stuff, image manipulation, 'show me a cow playing golf if the moon' rubbish etc. AI Agents are already doing real world jobs and taking 'real' jobs in the thousands. 'Agents' are where the real power and threat of the tech...

Things are getting so bad I only take the shittiest Decathlon bike I've got into town now if I'm locking up. And I make a point of never cleaning it!

I have a nice condition front Shamal if interested.

No one had mentioned the Chater Lea chrome pedals, surely the most plush British pedals ever made?

I had a Klein comp in fluo orange, probably one of the finest paint finishes I've ever owned. A bit like this one .Nice original thread by the way.
