Never heard of "beautiful colour" before. Heard of green, blue, red, etc but not beautiful.

Suggest if OP wants interest from prospective purchasers real info be provided rather than abstract summaries dependent on taste of vendor.

Sorry, I should have included the price in the advert - I am looking for about £1,095.

Fair comment about the colour, I think you would call it a metallic ruby with star shapes in it.

I have just worked out how to add photos, Sorry these were not added originally

See attached Photos.

Colour, and everything else.

Surely someone has to buy this at the price!

(It’s too small for me, and I’ve already got two)

A beautiful bike. Two questions:- 1) how tall are you? I’m 5’10” hence question is about fit. 2) where are you based?

Hi,
I am 5ft 9, so it would fit you.
I am based nr Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. However, I can post/courier it to you if you would prefer.
Thanks

I’d need to try it for size and at the current time, there’s not a chance I could get near you. Sorry and best of luck with sale.

If it helps, I’m 5ft 10.5in, with c32” trouser inside leg, and the Large (56cm) frame CdF fits me very well (so much so that I’ve got two, one with drops, one with flat bars) with the seat fairly far forward on the rails, and a shortish stem (80mm on drops), which yields a touring/gravel stance, relaxed, rather than ‘racey’.

I can also fit the Medium (54cm) frame, with the seat further back and a longer stem.

Basically, at around our height, we’re on the border between the two frame sizes (which, funnily enough, is what the genesis sizing chart says), and the choice between them is down to adjustments and subtleties of “feel”.

So, I reckon that at 5ft 10in, you’d be fine on this given the right seat-setting and stem.

Aside from the fact that it’s sold, the Tour de Fer and Croix de Fer are different bikes, with significantly different geometry, which means that they “size” somewhat differently.

Nice colour. If I has a choice of a Picasso or that bike (now sold) to hang on my wall.

I would instantly take the bike.
