I saw your build thread. Do you have the 631? There's a review of the 725 which says it's still held back by its frame weight, which surprises me as it's 725 and has a crabon fork... Maybe compared to full crabon it is a beast.
I really do need to work out what I want; I already have an audaxey type thing (that 'Raleigh' above), and a posh summer bike. I feel like the equilibirum would fit somewhere between the two. I'd really need it to be able to operate as a baby carrier/town bike as well as a bike for Coast-to-coast type things.
Looking at a purchase list of this:
Frameset (equilibrium 725 w/ crabon fork) £420
BB7 + rotors £80
Wheels - archetypes £100, spokes £40, hubs £60.The rest I have in abundance... So not too bad really.
I am warming to this colour way but I think Yellow is better.

I've got the Equilibrium Disc and would definitely recommend it as an all-rounder. If it's all kitted out to be a commuter/tourer though it's a bit of a pig - probably 11-12kg - and you do notice the difference on hills etc.
But it's a brilliant commuter, and was nice to tour with as well
