I went and test rode an equilibrium disc 10 yesterday. I really liked it but it's not quite exactly what I want. Ideally I'd like a 105 group and a dynamo front hub. By the time I've bought these and with my job uncertain for the next 12 months it doesn't make sense to buy on the cycle2work scheme anymore so I'm thinking about building from scratch.
With this comes its own problems; should i buy the equilibrium disc frameset or the croix de fer frameset?
There doesn't appear to be much difference between the two so I'm swaying towards the equilibrium as I prefer the colour scheme.
I'll build it up initially with a 5700 105 Group (I have this spare already) and some TRP Spyre Calipers.
I'd also like to build up some nice wheels. I was looking at Pacenti SL25 rims, which are on offer at Planet X at the minute. I'd like the front to have a dynamo and was looking at a shutter precision. I dont know what to use on the rear. I think i'd prefer 6 bolt fitting so I can use the rotors that come with the spyres.
Anyone advice welcome and perhaps heeded.
