Was looking at that yellow disc Equilibrium today, was nice! Have you thought about the CDF frameset? A bit more interesting looking than the above, but marginally heavier: http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/bikes/adventure/frames/croix-de-fer-frameset

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.
